A volunteer conservation movement · 501(c)3 non-profit

The fishery we love is worth fighting for.

Anglers across the country are seeing it - fewer fish, more pressure, a resource that needs our help. Release Over 20 is a movement of like-minded anglers who've decided to stop waiting and start acting. No regulations required. Just a personal commitment to do more than the law demands - and a community of people doing it together.
