BILL NUMBER:A10382
TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in
relation to authorizing angling by a single individual with up to three
lines
PURPOSE:
This legislation would authorize an individual to angle for fish with up
to 3 lines.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Amends section 11-0103 of the Environmental Conservation Law to change
the number of lines one person may operate from not more than two to not
more than three, with or without rod.
JUSTIFICATION:
This new 3-rod rule is designed to favorably impact a fisherman's expe-
rience by increasing his probability of catching a fish. Catching a fish
enhances angler satisfaction more than any other factor and is the prime
determinant in deciding whether or not to make return visits to the
fisheries of New York.
Return visits to the fishery are a boon to the local economies. Return
trips mean more money spent locally for fuel, food, lodging, launches,
parking, and rentals.
