C&R is better than C&K for the fish
Don't catch at all is even better yet.

Portraying that I'm for ending fishing forever is lame. We have healthy fisheries all over this state. My comments apply to the listed runs. Any arguments against all the other "H's" would work far better if you can claim NO IMPACT at all from your activities. Then people might take you seriously.


and once again, the fisheries of the threatened stocks *are not* being fished for. Can we at least agree on that?
