Okay, this thread was just about to get whacked, but if we can stay on track here, I'll leave it open.

GP ... it's five days a week on the Kenai in king season on the Kenai for guides. The rules results are open to debate ... it's forced all the guides on an already very busy river to being on the water at the same time which has made it tough on anglers wishing to fish on their on these days. I'm pretty sure the initial ruling on this was based more upon crowding issues than it was for conservation, although it has some effect there as well.

It'll open some doors of enforcement that will blow many's minds around these parts.

For a professional guide that has some overhead, 3 days a week will not allow most to make a living. You'll likely end up with lots more of the "part-time" guide crowd with such a regulation and that may not be the best end result.

To limit guide traffic (which isn't the worst thing overall), it might be best to limit guides to a specific region only for their licenses. That would help eliminate the overflow that occurs when other streams close and the remaining open streams don't get hammered as bad.

You'd probably see the same benefits to the fishery without taking away the liveliehood of those that fish rivers in the area in which they live.
