So, what I'm getting out of all this (and I could be totally wrong), is that they want to have thier cake and eat it too. They still want the income from non-resident anglers, but don't want them around.

By restricting the total number of licenses/non-residents, and in some cases guides only, the guides will be able to charge rates in excess of ten times the regular rate per trip. Less people = way more money.

Again, my 2 cents
