"What galls me is the proposal is seemingly not for the sake of conservation, which was the cornerstone in reasoning behind the moritorium in the first place, but instead for the sake of a selective few who wish to impose their fishing methodology on the rest of us." Sol on the Duc----- this reg is being presented solely by the WDFW, not by those that favor the moritorium. So then somehow "their" best sceince doesn't suit those that wish to rescind the moritorium. I guess then that best sceince is relative to a fishermans opportunity.
