I am not opposed to resricting the use of bait on certain rivers at certain times of the year. For example, the fly only stretch on the Kalama..... I mean, something like that is fine. But hasn'tthis State already made it hard enough to harvest fish in this state without adding yet ANOTHER stupid regulation that we'd have to abide by? I'm against th idea of using a Statewide bait ban as a managment because It's not really a "Managment" tool at all. A bait ban would only serve to make it harder for us to catch fish..... That's not managment at all. The state already charges too much for licenses and tags and doesn't do nearly enough to enhance the fishing.... Why in the world would we want them to make it any harder than it already is? If the state wants to "Manage" the fish, then why don't they actally start to do things that will enhnce the fishing? We already have enough stupid regulations on the books, geared soley at making harder for us to be successful in our hunting and fishing efforts. We dont need yet another stumbling block thrown in our way.
