Eyefish hit it on the head. Most of us are fisherman who enjoy the hunt and the act of fishing. By closing the bonny area we will have more time to enjoy fishing in the lower river. Yes at the right time you could catch 5 times the fish in a day at the dam but I would rather fish 5 times as many days on the lower river. No matter what it will equal out to be close to the same amount of fish I would put in the boat, IMO.
