Firstly, I've got to agree wholeheartedly with stlhdr1. The squawfish, nets, and seals are such a problem that no bait ban in the world is going to do squat until the state gets off its A$$ and fixes the real problems. I do not support a bait ban..... on any river, and will continue to fish with bait whenever I want to until these other problems are addressed. It is not right that the sportsman should suffer time and again just because the state cant take care of bussiness, or is unwilling to take the necessary steps to ensure the survival of the native runs. Get the God Damned nets out of our rivers, start killin off these Squaw fish, and open up a hunting season on seals, then we'll talk about banning bait.
