You are probably right. Since the sport fishing community and society in general can't find the balls to send commercial fishing on the LCR down the same history hole as market hunting it probably is better to save some sturgeon and steelhead from the nets. It's just hard to swallow that it's likely to be pretty crappy fishing for us sportfishers on the crumbs left over from the new ESA friendly selective commercial gear. Kinda like have an old sick dog that is killing your chickens and instead of putting a bullet through it's head you take it to the vet and spend thousands of dollars trying to fix it up. Oh well.
