RG ... Not really hard to do. People think this is the end of the world and it really shouldn't be any different from what we've all been doing for years with the exception of leaving a fish's fin in the water when taking the picture.

There is no reason to remove the fish from the water to get pix or measurements.

I've been working with this very same regulation in Alaska for ten years now ... and it's not that hard to do!

I expect my biz to increase as I've never let them be bonked anyhow and fishing will improve as a result of this. I don't expect the "great" days to get more frequent as this is more of a factor of freshet fishing and such, but in the times where there is a small stream of fishign coming and they're being let go, the leaner days should become a little better.

A more stable fishery with more ops to catch fish ... sounds like a winning propisition to potential clients to me!
