The fight to restore Utah stream access is heading to court and AFFTA, the fly fishing industry trade association, will match any member donations dollar for dollar up to a total of $2500.00.
The Utah Stream Access Coalition has filed a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Utah’s Public Waters Access Act passed last year. The coalition filed the suit because the Act effectively prohibits public access to hundreds of miles of rivers and streams in Utah. The money raised will be used by the coalition for court costs, witnesses and other related litigation expenses.

So all you AFFTA members, pull out your check books and write a check to support public access.
