Funny , like 7 years ago i said the herring trawlers were probably getting lots of river herring too. I mentioned this to on a certain fishing associations email forum. I was bashed and called an idiot by the acting president who also said had no understanding of the fisheries .

Those signs will de more descriptive as a marker that there are no longer ANY herring in those runs, than as a warning that you can't take them.

As for banning forever, I'd say sure, but then I never used them to begin with.
I figure that the true art of being an angler is being able to catch fish on artificials. Sure, bait does work, but TRY to attract a fish with something plastic and succeed doing so, and you have something to really brag about!

In addition to the shads, the Sebilles have pretty much made most of the Canal guys forget all about live herring
