Agree 100% BUT if you take out all the 20" fish this year...in a year or 2 all we will have left is 2 year old 20" fish every year.....or smaller! Its certainly not designed to be a trophy fishery, but look what happened 2 years ago when they had to cancel the derby because of the fall netting being so poor with decent sized breeding age fish...there will be NONE to net if they go this route.
I understand what you are saying but if they only register 600 salmon for the derby,where did the other 21,400 go to?
