Are you saying a professional agency biologist's recommendations are only valid if they argee with yours? Kind of like other folks opinions - if we agree with them great otherwise they must be wrong.

You said -"When the Bio’s don’t like it, doesn’t that put up some RED flag’s?" Your positions seems to be that the habitat abusers should be constrained by the professional biologist's recommendation while anglers certainly should not...

Todd -
You can't be surprised by the lack of interest in this and other habitat issues. We anglers have a long history of apathy. If catch allocation is not the issue then we don't have the time to get involved (even there we often rely on others to do the hard work). It is this very apathy that the competitors of the the resource's productivity (dams, development, water withdrawl, commerical fishing etc) count on. We are not likely to be effective in demanding change or resource protection.
