A luxury tax is JUST what we need to battle the ogre of runaway
trendiness: regs on 50% of trout/steelhead/salmon water (including 50% of
the big destination waters) limiting the total *retail* value of visible
paraphernalia (rod, reel, line, waders, boots, vest, clothing--forget
flies, tools, etc.) to US$ 1,000. We start with the SJ and the Madison.
