<<<"Everone hates flyfishermen". I think that quote alone tells us all we need to know about Fishstopper.
And if you believe allowing bait in certain rivers won't affect a wild trout stream, you are extremely naive. >>>
WOW, glad to see this thread devolving into personal attacks and name calling, just because someone disagrees with someone else. I guess I have to add another quote in MOGGIE.
So you mean fisheries where the population is healthy and stable and additional take might be possible?
This is the exact point of revisiting and evaluating whether current regulations are overly protective or exploitative. Liberalizing bag limits and gear type indicates to me that CDFW considers many fisheries under exploited. Good thing there's ways to estimate how additional take affects populations...
[QUOTE=WLREDBAND;189204]Too bad you're dead wrong. Kinda ironic though, the water barons hate him also because he tries to get more water for anadromous fish in his day job by providing biological data for law suits.[/QUOT
You mean dead wrong like when you claimed there were "fly fishing only" waters in California. Glad you two know each other that well.
[QUOTE=mogaru;189206]Read the regs. To save you some time here they are for Hot Creek for 2019:
(78) Hot Creek (Mono Co.). Hot Creek from the State hatchery property line to the confluence with the Owens River.Season: All year� Only artificial flies with barbless hooks may be used� 0 trout
[QUOTE=WLREDBAND;189207]I think I already explain it to you. Exactly "Flies only" not "fly fishing only", which means that if you wish you can fish you can fish with a spinning outfit and a fly. There a no "fly fishing only waters" in CA. I believe some other states have some "fly fishing only water" rules, and clearly define what constitutes fly fishing which sometimes bans tenkara. Hope you understand it now!
Jeff, thanks for checking on that.
I hope everyone let the DFW know about your concerns it only takes a few minutes.
