The Million Pound Challenge Clean-Up

Join Us in the Million Pound Challenge!

Trash impacts every waterway in the U.S., affecting water quality and threatening the fish populations anglers depend on. Keeping waterways clean is essential to maintaining strong fisheries, supporting aquatic ecosystems and ensuring the continued success of the recreational fishing industry. Join AGFC, PRADCO and the American Sportfishing Association to remove 1,000,000 pounds of trash from waterways by participating in the Million Pound Challenge!

Participating is easy!
