There is a formal "process" for the public's affecting formation of the regulations governing fish and game. If anyone is interested, give me an email and I'll shoot you a copy of the file.
While it would be nice to have certain changes in the regs, many are "out of our reach". For instance, it is doubtful we could ever get DH water boundaries extended to include the now Hatchery-Supported section of Wilson Creek. But, we might be successful in getting the regs changed so that DH waters are "fly-only", and/or do not open in June to "take" status.
I think this is worth pursuing. I will speak about this in our next meeting.
That is a good idea for a year round catch and release.
