Fishing & Conservation

At Reel Activities, we believe fishing is more than just catching fish — it’s about caring for our lakes, rivers, and ecosystems. We proudly support conservation events and community fishing activities that bring anglers together to protect the waters we love. If you’d like to learn more about our mission and values, visit our About Us page.

Stay connected to the latest lake cleanups, river restoration projects, and community fishing events happening near you. Our goal is to highlight opportunities where anglers can make a difference while enjoying the outdoors.

For more information on national initiatives, explore the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service’s Fish & Aquatic Conservation Program, which provides insights into habitat protection, species management, and conservation efforts across the country.

Healthy waterways are the foundation of great fishing. Overfishing, pollution, and habitat loss threaten fish populations nationwide. That’s why conservation projects like lake cleanups and river restoration efforts are essential. To help anglers take better care of the species they love, explore our Freshwater Guides for species details, fishing tips, and conservation-friendly practices.

We also recommend checking out AFTCO’s Conservation Program, a trusted resource for anglers dedicated to sustainable fishing practices, habitat restoration, and supporting clean water initiatives.
