[size 1]I can at least see why Mr. Weis voted as he did, but it seems to me that the only reason the Rocky Mountain Anglers club is opposing this change is because the DWR and the central aquatics chief didn't go to them first to ask for their "permission" or "approval" to make a change. (because they contributed some money and time in the perch reintroduction) It apparently is not based on the results of DWR studies or biologists opinion. (Please correct me if I am in error on this!) If so, the opponents position is ridiculous and good luck to TD and others supporting the change. [/size]
[size 1]It seems the RAC process is working as it should. There has been a groundswell of support for some perch harvest by those that regularly fish Yuba, (
ly I have not the last 2 yrs.[]) as evidenced by the numerous discussions here and on the DWR forum. The public went to the DWR in the proper channels and a change (hopefully)took place. This is a good thing to see. [/size]
