    A one day fishing season...just imagine

    Sometimes I hear people say "I wish our Fish & Game management was like it is in the states..."
    My response is always "Really, you want to have one week a year that you can shoot one deer and pay $200 for the opportunity to do so??"
    It's a supply/demand problem...with 350 million people and managing for everyone to have access to the resource, be it fish or game.
    Most of my experience is with the Columbia River, where a return of 250,000 salmon is a shitty run because the catchment has 10 million people in it, enough said.

    Finally, my point...the new Sturgeon year opens January 1st every year. There's a quota and once that quota is met the fishing year is basically over, at least for keeping a fish.
    So what happened? Well, everyone showed up at 0430 New Years day to fish in 5 degree weather because that would be their only chance at keeping a fish this year. They were right and now there will be no keeping of a sturgeon for 364 days..at which point they'll do it all again. I'm very happy to be here brothers.
