The interesting stat that I pull out of this is their talk about creeks or rivers close by with trout populations 6x higher than the ones they are talking of closing. If trout populations are that much higher why is fishing still closed in those creeks? If they are closing these rivers to allow populations to recover so that fishing can be reopened why aren’t their current actions showing that they are looking to reopen things once they’ve recovered? Or are these rivers being closed down for good? I’ve seen few if any cases of fisheries being reopened after they have been closed.
