--------------------------------------------------------------------------------anyone post comments about the proposed changes on the dec website ? i am against the 1 walleye on the st lawrence river change. protect the spawning females with a slot limit dont ruin the hole walleye fishing expierience. why would i drive 30 minutes to a river when i can only bring home 1 fish. i see more walleyes caught than pike but no one talks about that.
I would Imagine that would effect the charter fishing business also...
i agree i'm not going to drive all that way for one fish. that puts a hefty price tag onn that fish
Not really a big deal. People drive across entire states for 1 steelhead.
Not as much as we use to.and keeping just 1 fish ain't the reason either.The SR is turning into a darned Erie Cookie-Cutter stream. It is getting to the point where it ain't even worth the drive to catch the same 6-8lber over & over again.Now, the PETA (err, make that LOTAC types) are trying to drop the brown trout limit to 1.Save the world by ruining a fishery?
with the salmon and lake ontario fishery, near as i can tell it is doing WAY better than just about anything else. if it was up to me i would just leave the regs alone. if it ain't broke don't fix it. and the sea kitten huggers can go, well...
I guess that depends on what you are after...Me - I'd rather have less fish in the river and have a bona-fide chance at hooking up with a 20lber.Each year, my passion fades - I have no desire to fish for cookie cutters - along with the shoulder-shoulder sea-kitten lovers.Different strokes.
