I keep telling people we are losing our fishing privileges in places and some just don't seem to think it will ever happen to them. There are plenty of different groups out there that WANT to take our fishing for various reasons. The smart ones who seem to have way too much time on their hands (and money), know they can win in the long run by using opportunities such as the one you point out by taking it away one lake, river or area at a time...just like this case.
You can bet your fishing boat that some of the persons who pushed (obviously harder than enough anglers pushed)for this overdone closure would just as soon not have us fishing at all.
Any time any of us hear or read about anything like this, we ought to pass it on ASAP. Of course, the earlier, the better so we can help out before it's too late. We anglers need to start attending meetings and writing letters way more than we are now. Looks like this link is a good one for interested anglers to investigate and get further involved.
Thanks Jim
