This is great but a little worrisome because of what other parties can and may use something like this as ammunition for.
If it gets the fish more protection without taking more rights and fishable locations away from fisherman, i'm all for it. I know my particular view won't be popular on this, but as far Bull's and most waters around here go, I think the trout keep should be cut to 0, and the whitefish keep cut by half. With the rest of the closures in the province, I think our rivers in the West Country are going to get smashed up hard.
If it doesn't get more protection from Bull poachers, we're going to have a situation like the '80's of beautiful, crystal-clear, fishless friggin' water.
