Re: Sad News for West Coast Fishermen

If it restores the fish runs, you will be glad they did it. You do not want those runs to turn into Atlantic Salmon type runs in Maine.

Definitely, I am in full support of this ban. With a little luck and a few years of restraint. Hopefully, things can be restored. Five years ago over 800,000 salmon were counted heading upstream(Sacramento River), last year less than 60k. Good news is that a trip to Alaska may be in the plans!

Might have been good to start with a commercial ban only. But on the East Coast, Stripers made a huge comeback. Salmon have not been as easy though.

A couple of years could make a big difference.

Re: Sad News for West Coast Fishermen

They need to do the same thing with certain trout fisheries around the U.S. The Golden Gila trout is making a comeback thanks to the ban on it's capture awhile back.

I think it's even off the endangered species list now. Not sure though.

Re: Sad News for West Coast Fishermen

My Dad's other wife is a fishing pole... i'm sure he's a little bummed but there's so much more in the Pacific that it won't damper his beloved hobby. Maybe pops will catch more Halibut
