I was trying to be nice, but since you brought it up, Cody is a guide, and he'd like nothing more than to thin out the competition on the Umpqua.
This doesn't have a thing to do with saving the poor wild fish, but rather making his living a little bit easier.
And what a load of crap that JJ was peddling, junk science my eye, this is a ploy by guides to push out the competition.
Wake up and smell the coffee.

Todd, they did the very same thing on the middle Rogue River a few years ago, under the rouse of conservation they got a bait ban pushed through, the only problem was it's Sept. and Oct. which coincides with the peak of the half pounder run, net result was less competition for the guides.
If this is your idea of sound fisheries management, then by all means keep it in Washington, cus it ain't flyin in Oregon.
