Im chompin at the bit. I believe this has been disscussed in the past but, hey I'll bring it up again. Why do we have to wait for June 1? Is it just a date? If thats the case, allow us a few days earlier and let fishheads make a fishing vacation out of Memorial Day Weekend. I can pay tribute to our Veterans on the river as well as anywhere. Seems a bit ridiculous that a couple days makes all the difference to the spawned natives-they are not to be retained as it is. It would loosen the pressure on those rivers -the few that are open. The summerruns are in the river now and I feel they F&W should give the Sportspeople this benefit.
