Sport Fish Restoration Programs and Projects
The Dingell-Johnson Act of 1950 applies a tax on fishing rods, reels, creels, lures, and flies. The Wallop-Breaux Amendment extends the tax to tackle boxes, sonar fish finders, motorboat fuels, electric motors, and other equipment not included in the earlier laws. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service distributes these tax revenues to the states for recreational sport fishing enhancement projects.

Where It All Began

Sport Fish Restoration Projects
