Open Rhode Island trout season year round

The Issue

We the people respectfully request that Rhode Island follow suit with Connecticut and open the 2021 trout season.

Opening the fishing season early permits anglers to enjoy additional access to outdoor recreation, which has been a help to residents’ mental and physical health.

Furthermore opening the fishing season early helps to reduce opening day crowds limiting the potential for spread of COVID-19. 

Thank you
