If you’ve spent any time during the last couple weeks around the fly fishing blogosphere, odds are you have heard about a recent proposal for new flats fishing regulations in the Bahamas. If not, you can read the current draft by clicking here.
Considering we operate a lodge in the Bahamas, we’ve received many comments over the past couple weeks asking our take on the proposed legislation. While we are keeping a close eye on this proposal, we’re happy to report that as the draft stands, we will still be able to deliver the same great trips we have for years and are looking forward to the 2015/2016 season.
We currently have representatives of our team attending a public meeting of the matter this Monday, June 29th, and will be sure to keep you informed. See you on the flats!
It’s great you’ll be able to still run your operation……however it would be nice if you took a stand and helped those who will be adversely affected. Just a thought.
Am I reading the enclosed information correctly. We will still be able to do DIY on any Island and any flat but will pay $ 10.00 application fee and $ 20.00 license fee ( $ 30.00 a day ) for the privilege of fishing the Bahamas. I think a license fee is great and very necessary to keep this great fishery thriving, however I think $ 30.00 a day might be excessive and keep some from making the trip.
