Mr Allen! Such fire, such passion! you are turning me on!

All kidding aside, believing that everyone that fishes a river or doesnt agree with the WSR is a heathen or an ignorant imbecile is not the way to get your point across (this goes both ways). After reading your posts, I for one (being ignorant and not belonging on the river) would never ever entertain your ideas or thoughts because you have no room in your mind to expand and listen to the other side of the coin. All people hear from you after a while is like the teacher in the Charlie Brown cartoon "wahhhhwahhwha wah wah". Try fishing beside one of these "ignorant" people on the river and see how gently they release a wild fish (even if they can keep it and arent mandated to release it). See the respect that some of these fellow fisherman show for the resource and their surroundings. I think you would be able to share the river with them if you did that.

Im not trying to change your thinking, but just letting you know that not everyone is wanting to bonk a fish, hell, I have even been known to release hatchery fish because I know there is gonna be a bigger one later...even if it doesnt show up, I keep on hoping!
