Hey there dlcpoacher,

Verrrrrrrrrrrrry Interrrrrrrresting! With the recent screaming and yelling concerning another lake with men in bla.... I mean a bunch of lake personnel with radios paracticing S.W.A.T. team manuvers on hapless shore anglers, maybe S.A.R.L. is starting it's own bootcamp. ha ha ha Sorry to hear of your unhappy and unfortunate experience.

I see hard times are all around us. Greatly improved from last year, even Irvine is not excluded from various the trials and tribulations either. I'm a flyfishing catch and release guy and use undersized, barbless hooks. Funny thing about those light wire hooks! One slight mistake and the fish is gone. But... no intentional releases.

When checked I've asked when they are going to start giving discounts to angler who were given an authorized C&R pass. There answer... Huh, what? If they are so darn worried about their cost of stocking vs the poaching er... taking over limits, surely guys like me would be welcomed! Ha! Discounts, fat Chance!


Just a thought,

JapanRon
