Help Launch National Fishing & Boating Week:

ASA (American Sportfishing Association) -sponsored activities lined up for National Fishing and Boating Week take place June 2-5 this year, including our Partners Reception on Capitol Hill June 3, a Congressional breakfast briefing with the Congressional Sportsmen's Caucus on June 4 (sponsored by the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation), seminars on Congressional advocacy and hot issues for sportfishing, visits with Members of Congress and government leaders, and ASA committee meetings (Government Affairs and its three sub-committees, Communications, and Finance, as well as the Future Fisherman Foundation Board of Directors). On June 2, the traditional fishing event for hundreds of children will kickoff the week's activities here and across the country, as states and communities sponsor free fishing days and thousands of events during this nationwide observance, June 1-8 this year. Come help us make a good showing with government leaders who make decisions that affect your livelihood.
