1. To provide and encourage the sport of angling.
2. To take all possible steps for the enforcement of all laws relating to fish protection and to prevent the taking of fish during close season.
3. To take such steps, and promote such legislation benefical to the propagation, development and protection of fish, and oppose  legislation prejudical to such interests of members.
