Dan ... we usually seem to agree on most things, but I'll disagree with you here.

Things won't change unless the dollars stop coming in. Unfortunately, that's the way the real world works! As long as both industries continue to generate revenue, there will be no real pressure to eliminate the netting. That's evident enough by the use of netted fish to in attempts to promote the sport fishery.

FW .. Okay, no debate then, but saying that anglers who choose to fish above 101 are only pulling fish off of beds is BS. There are loads of fish spawning below 101 on all OP streams, especially in the latter half of the season. Knowing where fish actively spawn is a responsibilty of every angler and leaving them alone when doing so is something every angler ought to keep in mind!
