It's simple.There is getting to be too many people to go around.If you close some open others than you get what happenned last year.They closed the skagit and every body came over to the west end.Now I have no problem with that, but if everybody keeps their limit and all of a sudden the fishery can't support a catch limit.The fishing population isn't going to get smaller only bigger.Make it all catch and release now and all we can complain about is the combat fishing conditions not the lack of fish.The combat fishing will actually get better because people will be more spread out.It has done wonders with cutty's now lets do it with steely's.We are not just talking about our short life time but generations.We have seen what we can do to a fishery in a generation.
