Mountian Man,
Didnt see your post untill after my last one so heres my response.

Yes catch and release does make an impact and If It came down to it I would stop fishing.

I am not a tree hugger, about as far from it as could be. I come from a family of loggers and farmers.

But I love and respect the fish and there cycle of life. In my opinion they are the most resiliant and beautifull creatures. If I couldnt fish I could get as much satisfaction just knowing that they were out there doing there thing and would be there for generations to come.

With what we know now we could make the difference keep this recource forever. But for some reason we cant get it done.
