FS I sometimes just want to . All human activities are take. Dams, net incidental, C&R mortality, whatever. They are habitat but they are also harvest. A stream with diminished rearing capacity on the C will not do well with out targeted harvest due the number of mortality issues in the C itself and as this nation heads to loan default the billions to fix habitat, IF IT WAS POSSIBLE, are not going to be around.

Call it what you will but this is the fact. IT AIN"T GOING TO CHANGE NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES YOU HURL VERBIAGE OUT AT OTHERS.

So do not bet your beliefs on the US congress as those whores will sell you out in a heart beat.
