Banned Sportfishing??

Updated: May 27, 2022


To be honest, I have never considered the idea that sportfishing would ever be completely illegal.… until I saw this article from MeatEater. Sportfishing will be banned in the country of Colombia starting in the next year. I think Maggie Hudlow did a fantastic job writing this article for MeatEater, and I hope that the people of Colombia get things figured out.

I also appreciate that our Department of Natural Resources here in Iowa are quite the opposite- they encourage people to get outside and fish! Fishing is a great way to educate and inform people of the value of ecological systems. Clean water, healthy animal populations, and a pristine landscape all become obvious priorities when you want to have enjoyable experiences in the outdoors.
