For the sake of amusement - how do you see this ban progressing? Given that
many states (and the Province in Canada I live in) have legislation
guaranteeing the right to fish, what political jurisdictions do you think
will be the bell weather locations for the progression of the ban? Can you
name one jurisdiction where such a ban has had serious political momentum?

Hi Ralph,

As I have already documented, starting with the state parks.

Hmmm ... that certainly doesn't appear to be what I would call
"serious momentum", especially given that the two spokespeople for the
parks are quoted as saying they don't see any circumstances under which
fishing would be banned.


Chuck Vance (hardly a groundswell, IMHO)
