I have said before it was to bad sparky didnt see a netter pull a chum out of a net and strip her eggs and toss her back....I would buy him lunch if he chased that agenda. But to pick the smallest pesentage of fish kill and make every do it the same why he does is wrong. My release tactics werent much different execpt I would take a pic I well stand by my live release stats if it were possible to keep them. I still feel that light line (Rob was guily and I was with him so I am too) / and fly rods do as much damage as bad releases but. Education is the answer not more laws.

but heres the new question pointed out by bruce what if now commissoner Van Geekenbeck was to propose a statewide flyfishing only rule.

the numbers of fish would increase because the reduction of fishermen. The netters would still get there fish. the state would pat them selves on the back saying what a great job they did on bringing back the fish.
