Relates to authorizing angling by a single individual with up to three lines in freshwater
This bill (S 983) extends the temporary authorization allowing individual anglers to use up to three fishing lines while fishing in freshwater bodies. It directly affects recreational anglers who fish alone, maintaining a rule previously established in 2011 and updated in 2023. The key provision updates the expiration date from December 31, 2025, to December 31, 2027, extending the allowance for two additional years. This change does not alter the core rule but ensures its continued application through 2027.
