April showers are good for something!
Think of all those herring and shad that are making their way up river to spawn! Imagine that if they are allowed to fully recover as a species (I wouldn't hold my breath for that one)?
Now imagine how quickly they WOULD HAVE recovered if the restrictions that were forced upon the recreational angler were also forced upon the netters, draggers and poachers???
Once again, I wouldn't be holding my breath waiting for anything to change on that front.
At the very least the fish will be able to make it up to their spawning grounds, and following on their tails will be the striped ones!!!
