The Clean Water Act passed in 1972 after being vetoed by Nixon and overridden by something called a "Bi-Partisan Congress" (whatever that is)

[PortlyRedhead]

that was a serious win for fishermen and the planet!

[Gerry Zagorski]

One of the most important and far reaching acts in fishing history.

Wasn't that long ago when municipalities were dumping raw sewage into our rivers, bays and streams.. I remember fishing Raritan Bay back in the late 70s and it was practically a cesspool.
