[cool][#0000ff]For what it's worth, there is already a contingent forming to get a dual proposal in front of the RAC meeting next may.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]1. Complete closures of some areas, much as there are for some Utah streams and rivers during spawning runs for select species.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]2. Gear restrictions, which would limit or eliminate the use of treble hooks and/or restrict the size of single hooks used on jigs and/or trolling lures.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]DWR does not seem to have a great fondness for macks in the Gorge, and also does not seem to worry much about heavy harvest...big or small. They are encouraging increased harvest of pups but are not doing much to protect the big spawners. Angler groups have to be heard and a doable proposal has to be shepherded through the RAC process.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]As soon as he is ready for group participation, the spearhead of these proposals will likely make a post, outlining his proposal and soliciting immoral support.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]For the time being, we don't need to keep sniping at each other over our individual views. That is not the way to get changes made.[/#0000ff]
