Whoa, Whoa, Jerry, What am I thinking? What are you reading?

I wrote "We can not allow that management tool to become common place as a result of the fisheries management process failure to manage things correctly. It removes anglers from the sport, hurts our industries, and allows our managers to maintain fish stocks at critically low levels because with C&R we still have the "opportunity" to fish for them."

I said common place, as in multiple applications, not specific to WSR.

You wrote "In the next paragraph you seem to indicate that a substainable fishery[ could we insert the word harvest here?] might maintain the status quo for wild fish in the last few rivers not decimated [YET] by current management decisions. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING?"

Yes, you could put harvest there, even a C&R season is harvest, but that is not what I said or implied. "Sustainable fisheries" are obviously not a result of current management decisions and I felt I was quite clear on that earlier in my post when I talked about my mis-trust of the current mangement system. "sustainable fisheries" are allowing enough fish to come back to consistently allow fisheries, C&R or otherwise.
