Flatts1,

As one of those who worked on the opposition to this bill last year, I can say that it is not as bad for rec fishers as it was and at this point we (rec community) has gone as far as we can on this one. Rec fishing is but a tiny part of this bill and the overall bill is a good one, not to mention it is a political steam roller at this point and any further opposition would be counterproductive in the long run.
