Abstract The National Park Service, entrusted with the perpetuation of natural aquatic conditions in areas it administers, manages recreational fishing so as to create minimum disturbances to these resources. In national parks and monuments angling cannot be managed independently of other park uses and features of significance. The objectives of the conservation of park fishery resources differ in some respects from those which govern programs in waters located outside park areas. The policy and program for the management of sport fishing are outlined.
