Physician: I like your Moniker and certainly like your topics. I'm a long-time Kenai angler and I take its issues seriously and am very provincial when it comes to the river. I'm not a resident, not because I don't want to brave a winter there, it's just that my family no longer lives there, and I like it so much here in Seattle. I go to the river, not to kill a 60 pounder, but to enjoy all of the other fishing opportunities that get ignored by jackass Texan tourists. It's almost like the tourism disgusts me so much, even though I'm a tourist, that I can't bare to be a part of it. How this relates to your question is this. I support anything the fishery dept. does to protect fish, especially there. If it hurts tourism, then so-be-it and hallelluya (sp?) If it ends up benefiting the comercial fisherman, then so be it too. Those hardworking fishermen deserve it much more than Harry Gaines and Coca Cola. Picture 8 50-60 lb. fish before 10:00 a.m. That's the way it used to be
