Obama signs bill to preserve dam tailwater fishing
The Freedom to Fish Act imposes a two year moratorium preventing the Army Corps of Engineers from erecting barriers near Cumberland River tailwaters, preserving prime fishing access through Kentucky and Tennessee. Local officials and anglers warn against tourism and business harm if restrictions had stood, with support from Sen McConnell and Sen Paul. The measure awaits a permanent ban in the House as proponents push for lasting protection.
