Re: [VFB] corn in trout diet

[Bill Sparrow]

It's not just the case of PA. but everywhere..But without the dollars where would that put us?..I moved from the east to the west coast 6 years ago and it's a real change for me here..Fish were turned lose there to fight another day and everything most guys catch here are dinner..But i have learned to accept it, i do fish in thier waters and i feel good turning back 99% of what i catch..You can only do what you can and don't expect everyone to do what you do..Remember we have PETA trying to push their way of thinking on us and we don't care much for it..   Bill Oly  Wa. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ed none To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, March 05, 2003 10:21 AM Subject: Re: [VFB] corn in trout diet I'm  afraid  Murf is  right  here in Pa.  fishing  is more of a  busness  than a sport  all the  fish commishion  worries  about  is  bring  in the  almighty  dollar.  [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This study is under controlled conditions. I don't know if that makes a difference. What I do know is that after a day of chumming by some boats, there will be a bunch of dead trout on the bottom of the river. If the corn is not doing it then what is. These corn chuckers don't normally release any trout. Tony- This was an attempt to show the difference between PA policies and other states. Fishing in PA is a huge business which raises lots of tax, business and license revenue. You can't do the San Juan Shuffle on the San Juan but you can dump a can of corn chum in PA waters. I think the resource is geared toward revenue enhancement more than environmental prudence. Your point about dead fish is more relevant to me than a state sponsored study. You've spent more time studying trout than those kids with a new degree and a politician funding their study. Murf Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Tax Center - forms, calculators, tips, and more
