given that PETA is largely a laughing-stock in the general public, with
little or no traction for their ideas, I would say (as I did when you stated this stuff 7 years ago or more), it is VERY unlikely. I merely look around my PA local area at prevalent attitudes and see two key trends: 1. The tradition of angling is still strong, and pressure to preserve waters for fishing is still strong 2. Aging populations will, as others suggest lead to a diminishing pressure upon the resource to the point where it will be a non-issue. now, fact 2 could be used to argue that the PETA crowd will win out via lesser resistance, but I feel much of the resistance to their agenda is in the pure silliness of the approach and arguments. Time will tell....... Tom |

Late in life the only pleasures left are the the three f's of happines: family friends and fishing (not fishing fighting and ****ing). .....or maybe that's the 5 good things left. But I have to say, despite all that, fishing is starting to lose its alure. When I drive up to Wolf Creek to fish the Missouri and see 100 driftboats launching at once, I just want to turn around and drive home. I have a lifelong friend Randy who won't even fish in Montana anymore. And yes, I know, because I make and popularize driftboats, I'm guiltier than most. Byt blame isn't the point. Crowded fishing conditions suck. And there's a connection lurking there too, between pain-in-the ass crowded fishing conditions and what Tim's been talking about. I remember when my dad and I first started fishing Sough Creek and the Lamar in Yellowstone in the early 1960s. We'd fish all week long and see maybe 2- 3 other fishermen. And we knew all three of them. That's what I really liked about fishing in Montana, way back then. And those days are long gone, forever. That's how I remember it too. There was a time, if you saw someone, or a car, you were obliged to go somewhere else or make a damned good effort to go up and around a long way above or below him to fish, hopefully without him never being made aware of your presence. Fishing to 'unspooked' fish was a primary quality of the experience. Then, to go back to camp or home, with a few fish, eaten and never, ever wasted, was the fishing experience. I remember the first time a 'guide' waded right through my drift on the frying pan, I'll never forget that. I don't think that they will ever be successful at eliminating subsistence fishing, but, pure catch and release and no biological management justification, will lose, and might lose to a popular vote if put to it today. Your pal, Halfordian Golfer Guilt replaced the creel not too many days ago, i fished lower slough from the lamar junction, up the lower canyon, and to the 1st parking lot trail...i knew 2 of the 5 people i saw on the water that day. it ain't all gone yet for those that will look... |
