Conservation

“I am passionate about bass fishing and protecting our sport and waters for the future.”
Todd Gentzel - Conservation Director

Hi, everyone. I just wanted to introduce myself and let you know that I have taken the position of conservation director. I hope we can all get involved in some projects this year. I have a couple things in the works right now that all the clubs can get involved in and will cost us either very little, or nothing, to do, (maybe a few man/woman hours.) If any of you have anything you want to do let me know. I look forward to working with all of you and hope to do some really positive things here in Colorado.

BASS Federation Nation and Conservation

This is a good description of what the B.A.S.S. Conservation Programs are all about and why they are an integral part of any State Federation.  From the New York Federation Conservation Director - Todd Gentzel

— - —

For more than 40 years, B.A.S.S. and the grassroots B.A.S.S. Federation Nation have remained focused on issues related to fisheries and aquatic resource conservation. The B.A.S.S. Conservation Program is a driving force behind progressive, positive change on critical water resource and access issues - Fisheries Management, Habitat, Aquatic Nuisance Species, Aquatic Vegetation Management, Angler Access and Tournament Fish Care.

B.A.S.S. is more than tournaments, a magazine and a membership - it's decades of demonstrated natural resource conservation efforts. B.A.S.S. Conservation works with government agencies to develop sound management policies that protect and enhance aquatic resources. We partner with the industry and conservation community to ensure that government policies provide for these resources without compromising sportfishing opportunities. B.A.S.S. Federation Nation members provide substantial volunteer efforts to enhance fisheries resources and protect our sport. B.A.S.S. is renowned for state-of-the-art tournament fish care and the legendary publication "Keeping Bass Alive."

Devoted to challenges that lie ahead, B.A.S.S. Conservation works on behalf of it's 500,000 members to ensure the future of fishing through conservation.
