by Will Tuell
On Wednesday, March 8, Representative Ken “Bucket” Davis (R-East Machias) presented a bill before the Legislature’s Inland Fisheries and Wildlife Committee that would lift limits on bass fishing in most Washington County rivers. The bill, supported by those looking to restore endangered Atlantic salmon Down East, generated widespread testimony from anglers, sportsmen’s groups, guides, nonprofit organizations, and the state itself.
