12133, RE: Declaring Clear Lake Hitch Threatened or Endangered Posted by jigndoublewide, Sat Dec-15-12 02:10 AM
I did not realize this but it is no surprise that the Hitch are exploited.
How legal is it to pump water out of a public lake? This definitely should be banned.
Is there a large market for harvested hitch? There needs to be a moratorium placed on hitch immediately.
Before the dfg does extensive research, kill bass, etc. they need to lessen/stop human exploitation FIRST.
Also those seasonal roads that are packed up need to be outlawed as well, sickening that for a few months of driving convenience a species of fish is adversely affected and I am sure other repercussions occur.
This is a really interesting thread to read, I enjoy the fish talk a lot.
