Two things - we will need to lean on them to make sure and deliver all they say they will and 2nd of all with budgets getting lower and lower - which possibly leads to fewer fishing being planted in many lakes it is time to be very aware to conserve...especially on the larger fish...this is on all lakes/rivers!
I see people holding up 8#+ cutts on stringers and then they complain about the lack of fish in a lake...that one 8# fish could produce many, many more fish and few people subsistance fish if they can afford decent tackle.
Hand lining is understandable if you need fish to eat but if you have a 20k boat you probably can afford food.
If you are out there to enjoy fishing - make sure to put them back in the water so they are there for down the road.
