Statement on the near cancellation sitch hours before Shasta WWBT

Post by WB Staff »

The following was a statement posted from Rep. Doug LaMalfa. This is a post for information on a fishing event situation that occurred. This is not a post to get into a political debate. A reminder to please be respectful of others when expressing opinions on the FISHING SITUATION.



From Rep. Doug LaMalfa.
Wednesday, only 36 hours before the Lake Shasta Bass Tournament was set to take place, the US Forest Service CANCELED it. This tournament brings roughly $500,000 to the local economy. My team and I intervened, and Friday hundreds from our district and beyond were able to take part in this great event. These tournaments are an important part of Shasta County’s economy. Our local small businesses need this support. I’ll keep working to make sure Forest Service works with the organizers to keep them going.
