Yeah.... I see a problem with it... Personally I wouldn't be terribly excited about giving up bait... I enjoy my dozen or more springers I put away every year. Great table fare...

Most Canadian streams have no bait rules yet their runs are collapsing too....

I see hook size restrictions before I see bait or barb restrictions....
