“We are pleased to offer all Americans access to hunting and fishing opportunities and other recreational activities on refuge and hatchery lands where they are compatible with our conservation management goals,” U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Principal Deputy Director Margaret Everson said in a statement. “This generations-old heritage of hunting and fishing is all about loving outdoor traditions and time spent with family.”

In the Pacific Northwest, 10 national wildlife refuges and national fish hatcheries have added or expanded hunting and fishing opportunities.

In Oregon, 100 additional fishing days have been added at Bandon Marsh and Nestucca Bay national wildlife refuges and 85 additional hunting days at McKay Creek National Wildlife Refuge.
