Worth Millions |

Fishing,
in addition to being one of the most wholesome
family pastime, also brings economic benefits
to communities all over Arizona. The Arizona
Game and Fish Department strives to improve fisheries
for the people of Arizona, and an excellent example
has been the Lake Havasu Fisheries Improvement
Project.
This partnership among Anglers United, Bureau of Land Management, the United
States Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Reclamation, California Fish and
Game, Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, and the Arizona Game
and Fish Department has made a big splash at Lake Havasu City - a $30 million
dollar per year splash.
The economic value of sport fishing to the local economy is explained in detail
in the recently completed report "The Socio-Economic Impacts of the Lake Havasu
Fisheries Improvement Program". Download the entire report by following the link
below and be surprised at how much sport fishing does for local economies and
the economy of the state of Arizona.
