Fishy


even though it says,

The use of gear that causes little mortality would allow the harvest of more hatchery fish within the ESA impact limits and help control the number of hatchery fish that inevitably stray onto spawning grounds

in that writeup you still dont know who would get a longer season ?, i could post more write ups that say the same thing if you want.

do you know the difference between release mortality and esa take ?


They`re one and the same, if we{sports} release more wild fish then our ESA take will go up no matter how carefull we are. When wild fish are all that`s left for us what will our ESA take be? Bill
