Neanderthal,
I have asked and even challenged you a bit to think outside the traditional box that we sport fisherman want to put everything into. There is no fish issue that I am aware of that isn't multi faceted and many are extremely complicated. If everyone (all users) would simply agree to not harvest that obviously would be simple, but I do not see that happening, so we must pursue and explore some nontraditional harvest methods to protect our wild stocks. This is in the works but has its complications...understand that we want to see all species of fish that are native to this state thriving...the challenge is huge and focusing on single issues with eyes and ears closed has not worked for 25 years and it will continue to not work. The winds of change are blowing, I would love for you to simply say...ok, but I can tell you are probably not going to do that...could you at least email me at runwildrivers@yahoo.com so that I have your email address...I would like to keep you informed as to what we are doing.

Thanks,

Jim Bain

PS If nothing else this little dialogue got you closer to being a returning adult in the Bob Ball River!!!

Have Fun!
