Aw right, are you guys saying that if the actual number of springers in the river is really low, that you would just want the States to just let people keep on fishing ?

I thought we like the fish, and want to do what is best for the runs...

If I had hand raised and babysat one of those hens for all 3 years of her life...the last thing I would want would be for some guy to hook her in the mouth or throat, and fight her to the boat for a picture, rub a little slime off her, then send her off to the sea lion patch at the bottom of a major obstical..............that sport fishing, even if catch and release, doesn't help the individual fish which get caught...
