WDR,
I`ve thought of that myself before, wondered
what it would take besides paying the commercial fishers what they would have made on an average for that year or two,as I think even a couple of years would make a noticeable difference.
Unfortunately that snagging ordeal on the river is one of the reasons for the prejudice
we see on this board. I like to think of myself as not but when I see things like that happen I sometimes catch myself thinking out loud, I like to think it would not make a difference what nationality a person is.
