I would argue that the sport fleet fishing above the new selective commercial harvesters would in fact see far less opportunity.
So what your saying is CCA's plan is really just a plan to save the hatcheries.


I feel there`s a big difference between "opportunity to fish" and "opportunity to harvest a keeper". Hell we could be out there right now enjoying our "opportunity" to fish for spring chinook, might as well troll clones for tuna in the LCR and call it an "opportunity" too. I can`t believe people think that increasing the commercial catch will have positive results for sports.Bill
