Hey man I'm no bio. I'm not some Keyboard Kommando claiming to be the be-all/end-all when it comes to fisheries management. Just a fisherman asking questions and trying to gain an understanding.

My question was simple. What have the current ESA regs done to enhance recovery?

You answered it.

So if the Feds won't adhere to their own regs what's the point of having them?

Especially if we can focus harvest using selective methods and policies that do less harm to wild fish than the ESA regs do now?
