Don't Let Arizona Restrict Access to Off-Road Fishing Holes

Once again, folks in Arizona are trying to restrict or close access to areas on Arizona State Land. For those of us who like to go off the beaten path to fish in rivers where few people go, this is disturbing news.

It seems that legislators and others are complaining in Maricopa County and parts of Pinal County that off-roaders are stirring up too much dust by riding quads, 4x4's, motorcycles, etc. And they want to restrict or close access to many areas on Arizona State Land.

It's already getting harder and harder and to find good places away from other people to fish, shoot, ride quads, etc. Now the Arizona State Land Department wants to make it even harder!

If you live in Arizona, I urge you to sign the online petition and spread and word. You don't have have to live in Maricopa or Pinal County to care about this issue. Rulings like this have a way of spreading once they pass they pass in one area.
