your comment below seem to suggest you were there and know the answer

And yes there are other spawning areas.

Correct.....if the other ones were more important , wouldnt it seem logical to protect them over the area being suggested

I dont have a problem protecting the fish if they need it. And Im not convinced that they need the protection some on here are suggesting.

Then we must assume SRD is lying

I have been around awhile, both in tournaments and recreational fishing. Fishing in the spring does impact the fishing but show me some evidence that they are in trouble or even heading for trouble.

At the meeting I specifically asked how has the test netting been for Travers...we were told NOT good. Combined with what SRD is purposing....what more evidence can we base the need for a change on?
