Simms Fishing Products CEO Casey Sheahan penned this op-ed in the Bozeman Daily Chronicle supporting Jon Tester’s Montana Headwaters Legacy Act.
As Simms’ CEO, my goal is to inspire the world to fish. And protecting our rivers and fisheries is good for business. Not only is the MHLA good for Montana’s $7.1 billion outdoor recreation economy, but it would also benefit our thriving agricultural sector and fast-growing communities like Bozeman and Big Sky by ensuring that our most pristine rivers continue to flow freely from the mountains to our valleys where they irrigate crops and provide clean drinking water.
