live bait?

[LOAH]

Hey, it's a forum for discussion and your input is extremely valuable. Thanks for taking your time to contribute to this thread.

If anything, it shows you that there are people out there that believe that the transport of fish is inevitable, by irresponsible people and that the public should not be punished for it. 'Nuff said there.

I appreciate your time to try and sculpt our perception of the regulations as they stand.

I can't help but dispute statements that just don't jive though:

(edit: this first part is about aquatic invasive mussels) There's no way I'm buying that humans are solely responsible for their spread. We don't have wings and spend much of our lives sitting/standing/pecking in the water or mud.

Perch in Jordanelle? Perch were already in the system before the dam was built. We can't blame bucket biology for their presence in the 'Nelle, since they were probably there from the beginning.

Perhaps there was a treatment prior to the filling of the reservoir, but we all know that it doesn't guarantee that all the fish die (ie Strawberry).

I'm sorry to keep debating you, but those above statements have too much room for error.

Again, thank you for your input.
