60 in 60 is the industry-wide collaborative effort to grow participation in recreational fishing from 46 million participants in 2016 to 60 million anglers in 60 months.
The “60 in 60” initiative, developed by the Recreational Boating & Fishing Foundation (RBFF) and partners, aims to grow recreational fishing to 60 million anglers by December 2021. This bold program is working to make recreational fishing more attractive and accessible to more Americans.
