CALLING ALL TPFRers!!!

 

By now you have all read Mike Bailey's (A.K.A. Animal) recent post about a serious threat to spring Shad and Striper fishing as we know it.  If not, check it out now for a bit of context:  https://groups.google.com/d/msg/tidal-potomac-fly-rodders/nzBjJNKf3c0/VRidGsVZ8tcJ 

 

Additionally, Mark Binstead was at BEER TIE last night and filled us all in on the situation at hand.  As Mark eluded to, there has been much in motion behind the scenes and a coalition has been formed to respectfully put the necessary pressure on the Park Service to address this issue in a timely manor, preferably in time for the 2015 spring run.  Richie (Urban Angler) and I have joined this coalition and have pledged to do all we can to motivate and mobilize our angling community to help in this cause. 

 

My hat's off to Mike Bailey, Danny Ward, and Mark Binstead for spearheading this effort, and for putting together the following information and petition to let our voices be heard.

 

Now, while I know we have far more readers than posters (not that there's anything wrong with that), I am challenging each and every one of our 1321 registered members to click on the following link, add your name to the petition, and send a brief note to the park service about what safe access to Fletcher's Cove means to you, your friends, and/or your family.  Your ideas and solutions are welcome in the comments as well, they will be read. 

 

The link to the letter and petition is here:  https://docs.google.com/document/d/1QyB9yqw5MO9evi50uU84OCCs5UfO-MYRd714kAsCShI/edit?usp=sharing  

 

Let's keep this thread alive as a motivation to others.  Once you have added your name to the petition and sent in your comments to NPS, please respond to this thread with something to the effect of, "Petition signed, comments sent" or whatever else you prefer.  Doing so will only encourage others in real time to do the same. 

 

Thanks again to Mike, Mark, and Danny for bringing this issue to light.  Now let's make a difference and protect one of our fishery's most valuable resources - Fletcher's Cove.  April is just around the corner!

 

Thanks in advance for your support.

Dan Davala
