Sure jerry to the best of my understanding..?
I do not know of any questionares concerning snagging of fish in terminal fisheries.I do know that this does happen way too much.Law enforcement cannot even enforce snagging regulations let alone c/r regulations.I personally do not fish any of these snagfests for varios reasons but I have to wonder who really cares?They are only hatchery fish,if they do not get snagged then they just end up fertilizer.We do not want to loose our native gene pool correct?
2.The state implementing the c/r regulation is what scares me the most!If it was implemented the way the WSC intends ,I am all for it.
3.The last thing I want to see is the last wild steely bonked.I sometimes wonder if the state would like to see that very thing happen!It would sure make there msy alot easiar to work with.I fall back again on close the system down before this happens.I still believe that c/r is a great way to manage a healthy fishery,it is not the answer for our failing systems,It is a means of conservation but not the answer to our problem.If it is used like it is on the canal it will be a means of killing the last steelhead.
B-RUN
The biggest reason I did suport the c/r issue was because I saw it as ground to stand on later in the battle!I am so sick of the attitude of not untill they stop.I too am surprised certain things have not been supported by the public{net ban} and by the wildlife commision{c/r}.Because of these let downs I feel compelled to look deeper into the population to come to some common ground?
