While it is hard to argue with WSR or even the proposal not to lift C&R species from the water, neither of these proposals seem to have much "real" impact on the longer term health. It would be great to see a deeper understanding of the biological needs and patterns of specific watersheds and look at all "players." I'm not suggesting sportfishers shirk their own responsiblities, but we can do a lot more as a group when looking at habitat destruction (development etc), commercial fishing trends and the other more impactful things affecting fish. While I wish WDFW would do more with certain regs, they do have to understand and work with the bigger picture. Considering how difficult it is to get any of the other trends (development) and parties to commit to any long term plan, I understand why WDFW looks to manage river systems individually and (somewhat) short-term, and why we don't have sweeping legislation to improve things for the fish. It is a complex problem!
