Duh, the economics of tens of thousands of angler trips benefit the many.

I suppose you actually believe that a majority of gillnet released wild springers survive all summer and spawn succesfully.


Any commercial handling of mainstem wild fish will result in mortality.
Remove "ALL" commercial harvest from the LCR mainstem, and shift the 2% mortality allocation to the sports.
