This is what makes all of this so strange.... While I think most of us can agree that a longer spring closure would most likely be beneficial to the lively hood of the fishery, there appears to be no data or studies to actually support the closure. So that goes back to all the underlying questions being asked in this thread. Specifically (but definitely not limited to)....
- What exactly was the process used to come to this decision?
- What data is there, if any, to support this decision?
- Why the decision to push for a closure to the west arm, and not a longer closure for the whole lake?
So, if there is no data or studies to support this closure, even though most of us believe it would be beneficial to the lake, how exactly did all of this come about? Surely the SRD doesn't just make regulation changes on a whim, so there must be some underlying issues or motives pushing this closure.... It's all pretty 'fishy' to me...
