As how to repair the issues between the groups that want to catch a fish and those that want to buy one.. Seems to me putting the more efficient method behind the play one would make more sense but that would involve removing previously passed laws that were designed to give each group their own area to fish with no contension..Worked well for a short time time I would imagine.


I think land use and hydro are huge issues, and selective fishing is a big issue as well. CCA has chosen to work the selective fishery side, and there is a lot of room for groups and individuals to work the land use and hydro sides as well. Lots of pieces in the puzzle.
I have recently, as shown from other threads, been really thinking about the habitat and upstream biomass (land use) side of things. These all relate and I give a big "Way to Go!" to anyone working in any of these areas to benefit fish and fishing. If we all just pick a place to start and get to work, it is a good thing.
