[quote MikeHall]Fishing during the spawn will not allow for a healthy resource and in no way promotes conservation or healthy fish populations.. Most Certainly it is unsportsman like and is as unfair a method as snagging or looking the other way as a participant or enforcement officer when our conservation laws are broken .. Of course you can look the other way, complain about poor quality and most certainly justify you opinion at the expense of our public resource ...[/quote]
Nothing like a blanket statement that is nowhere near the truth....
....I can think of several fisheries where fishing is allowed during the spawn and where fisheries are not only healthy but thriving. I named a few above already for you. In fact, I could name some fisheries where a lot of fishing occurs during the spawn and where too dang many fish are living and where a little more fishing and not releasing should occur.
