If it "prevents few of them from fishing", what is the purpose of the
regulation?

I sometimes have similar feelings about what you saying but I think
that's do partly to old fartism and partly because there are so many
more fly fishermen on the rivers today. With any group of people, there
are going to be assholes. The larger the group, the more assholes there
are (as well as more decent folk). I also don't think that fly fishing
works well as a group or social activity. As streams and rivers get more
crowded, people get "forced" to compete for space and are "forced" to
interact with other people in some way or another. If a stream or river
is uncrowded and you come upon another fisherman, you can just go around
that fisherman and get out of sight before you start fishing (which was
the "etiquette" I was taught). In crowded waters, that's not an option.


Perhaps a reflection of society as a whole these days and not particularly
fly fishing.


I don't buy that. When I grew up in the fifties there was MUCH more
litter around. The roadsides had trash all over and the streams and
rivers were often used as dumping grounds for stuff like old
refrigerators, cars, assorted appliances etc. IMO, litter is WAY down
including streamside.

In either case, the conclusion that you're education is not yet
complete is inescapable.

I understand the sentiment, but delayed harvest waters that are stocked in
October can be a blast to fish in in the spring. Access generally is not
very hard and after a few months in the stream the fish are fun to catch.
It's not as psychically rewarding as catching wild fish in a remote spot,
but if you have limited time and want to have a pretty good fishing
experience, it's not bad. They are especially good places to take
youngsters
who are learning to fly-fish.

Frank Reid and Allen Epps posted great TRs earlier that were good
descriptions of spring-time fishing in delayed-harvest water. Don't know
that their stream was D-H, but the experience appears similar.

I suspect that most people who are taking fish do so in the summer, so
designating the water as C&R only in the winter probably prevents few of
them from fishing, but it does provide an attractive opportunity for fly
fishermen. The result, IMO, is an overall larger number of fishermen in
the
course of a year, and more sales of licenses and fly fishing tackle (and
more much-needed tax revenue for the fish & game department) - revenue
that
would not have happened without the delayed-harvest program. It may also
be
true that streams within commuting distance of major metropolitan areas
lend
themselves to delayed-harvest programs.

Oh yeah? Well......well....um....****!

to whom nothing is more distressing than a reasonable and rational argument,
well presented.
