"that way there can be no organization that can stop the commercial fishing industry."

Fish farms.

You must not fish with barbless hooks very often or you would know that Rockfish is quite correct in how easy they are to remove....

...as I see it this thread is about whether or not drastic measures should be taken to close a fishery that is potentially in trouble not about flyfishers v. every other kind of fisherperson.

If the closures/restrictions posed were enacted it could potentially infringe upon your 'right to fish'... is that what has you unable to focus on the specifics of this thread?

I doubt you'll find many on this board or anywhere else for that matter that would agree with your statement that a steelhead is a salmon....supposing you are wrong on that, would you be willing to reconsider some of the other positions you have taken in this thread and others based on information you were equally sure was correct?
