These wading boots will go quick- order yours today!
The Pebble Mine issue in Bristol Bay is an issue many anglers are aware of. For the last two decades, anglers have been part of the effort to stop this formally proposed mine. Located at the headwaters of Bristol Bay, Alaska, is where the proposed open pit copper and gold mine was slated to land, which could affect the world’s largest sockeye salmon fishery and an integral area in the sportfishing and hunting industry.
In 2020, the key federal permit for the proposed mine was denied to the Pebble Limited Partnership as the proposal failed to meet Clean Water Act standards and was “contrary to public interest.” Now local fishing business owners, tribes and commercial fishermen are calling for permanent protections for the region to ensure Pebble- or another mining company- can’t come back in the future. Learn more about the proposed Pebble Mine.
Each pair of Special Edition Devil’s Canyon boots will feature:
- Vibram Sole Configuration
- Bristol Bay Informational Insert
- Free 1-Year TU Membership
- No Pebble Sticker
- No Pebble Koozie
