A couple of the proposed changes are puzzling to me:
1) Is there that much pressure on Pelican Reservoir that they need to effectively put a 5 fish limit on bluegill? Unless you lived in Vernal, it wouldn't be worth the drive to even fish it. Bluegill are so prolific that I just don't understand that one.
2) Was there a push by anglers to allow up to 6 fishing lines for ice fishing at Causey and Porcupine? Or is this some type of "trial" regulation that has no biological implications? It sure would be nice to hear the reasoning to why this regulation was proposed and what the regulation hopes to accomplish. It might have been mentioned at the RAC meeting, but lets be honest.....not a lot of people go to those. But having the reasoning in print along with the proposed regulation would make a LOT of sense.
Even though 5 lines are allowed in Idaho through the ice on a lot of waters, I have only seen a scant few anglers using more than 2 poles at once.
