So Aunty,

There were 8 pro guides in the Willamette and they fished the entire day. If they had a two fish limit would they have got their limt of two. If so, why didn't they get their 1 fish limit? Were they not skilled enough? Maybe there were only so many fish in the river that were willing to bite? you can't catch what isn't there. Ten fish limt and you still can't catch what isn't there.

This coming fall will be a 1 fish limit in most of the Northern Oregon Coast. While the amount of anglers will not decrease, the fish will. When every hole in tidewateris full of boats and every fish has been taken that will bite, are there still lines in the water trying to catch more fish? You bet there is. Thus nothing has been saved by takin git to a 1 fish limit. The pressure of fisherman still exsists and the fisherman outnumber the fish by a ton.

Just a thought.
