i agree with you john but nothing is free the state employee,s who raise these salmon im sure get paid and where does that money come from,the nh fish and game budget losing the derby is a good thing for the charters boats,iv fished this derby long before there were any charters on this lake and this problem has only been a problem for the last 6 years or so,this lack of salmon is not being caused by the weekend angler ,its cause is the daily charter,china and japan almost cleaned out our tuna population thats why we have a 200 mile limit,charters are fine but give them more regulations to follow,thay are not anglers they are commercial fisherman of a sort,what upsets me is cool water charters rallying around people who have chose to boycott or to put it nicely not fish the derby ,good luck ,rick
