Jeez Paker, did I pee in your Cheerios or something?


I read the new regulations and realized that I won't be directly affected at all since I wade fish even when using a boat. I use barbless hooks and don't use bait, and release all wild trout and most hatchery ones too. There could be indirect effects though. Anglers in boats who usually drift on past where I'm fishing might now be inclined to stop and share the run if it looks to be easily wadeable. I'm OK with that; it's an imperfect season. And a lot of the places I fish aren't wade fished by most sane fishermen.
