The budget reconciliation bill that is going through the senate has a lot of poison pills but the sale of public lands will affect us fishermen and hunters the most! Check out this map of all the areas that will be for sale to timber, mining and fossil fuel interests. Once this land is taken from the American people, we will not get it back!

It doesn't matter your political persuasion, if you trout fish, this affects you. Up for sale is a large section of the east side of the kern river, including areas around the south fork and some of the last refuges for our native golden trout. Upper sections of Hot creek, large swaths of local national forest including local native rainbow trout habitat and blm land will put our recreational opportunities at risk.
What can you do? Call our senators and tell them to fight and vote no. Call Darrel Issa and tell him you don't want this. Join land conservation groups like the Teddy Roosevelt Conservation Partnership and donate so their lawyers can sue to stop it and lobby congress.
