Andy,

Don't look for the ability to vote on dates anytime soon(probably never). The reason most rivers close at the end of March is for 2 reasons: 1) Peak spawning times for many wild fish in our area is late March through May-even June! The fish are vulnerable and don't exist in high enough numbers to have a fishery on them and, 2) Smolts are migrating primarily in April and May. Incidental catch of the little guys would be greatly increased during this time and just hurt our fishing 2-3 years down the road.

How's the new vessel working?
