Personally I'd also like to see many waters ban bait and ice fishing. I like to ice fish as much as the next guy but some waters would do well without that pressure. It's done in BC and most lakes without ice fishing have excellent open water seasons.

Single barbless hooks would also be nice to see and on a selfish note, some lakes and streams could go to fly fishing only.

Overall though, no I don't think we need to limit access. Just gotta tweak a few things.
Tough call on making some waters fly-fishing only. You a bow-hunter or a rifle-hunter or a hunter?

Hard to make soft calls, boat vs non-boat, motorized vs manpower, type of fishing, etc.

I think KISS it, C&R unless the fishery can handle some retention.
