Narrow Minded....
Maybe.... I just think this is one of those well intended ideas whose impacts weren't thought thru completely before proposing the change. In reading some of the official documents, I note that this proposal moved fairly quickly and quietly thru the adoption process without much in the way of analysis by DFG staff. Of course, they were directed to make the draft the options by the F&G Commission (one of which is a spearfisher, I believe).
At any rate, I think it's going to be a while before anything can be done to modify this change even if agreement is reached by all involved to do so. Once adopted, a regulation change is adopted, it's very difficult to change it. Especially if recently passed. So, I'm really hoping that Mike O is right and there will be little impact on the resource from this.
