MIke I guess you have never been to the Holyoke Dam durning the Shad/Striper Run have seen a few fights there as well as getting a few yelling matches myself with boaters that think they own the whole river. Once had a guy try and swamp me in my canoe because I yelled at him to slow down.

As for getting rid of opening day like we did in Mass it cost the Fish and Wildlife a bunch of money that they never got back do to not having an opening day.

Another thing to think about is the decrease in Lic. numbers and what your do your elected off. look at when they vote on any issuse. THomT
