never disagreed with Larry on working towards improving fisheries and
was merely pointing out that we all play a role in the fisheries we
use. The impacts from our own use should be examined and weighed
when there are problems with our fisheries. This is something that
has not always been done in the past and something that we all need
to think about IMO. This could be in the form of thinking of what
our impact will be on the fish as water temps start to rise, fishing
during flows that are stressful to the fish, overcrowding issues,
over fishing, etc.
The over crowding thing is tough for me to be consistent about.
Personally I'm in favor of rules limiting the number of fishermen on
over crowded waters. Although I usually fish less known places, I will
fish some of the famous waters where I sincerely believe over fishing
has some significant impact. Hypocritical, I guess.
