I dont think a no fishing area on catherine would make a diffeence Jeremy, I agree, a majority of fish are taken in the first week, and its nothing but lifters and snaggers from Kaufer dam to kaufer dam. I saw last yr alone, many fish taken that were not in the mouth, but what can we do? DEC patrols that creek hourly and I have yet to see tickets written on opening day. However, if you go in december, when the browns and bows are in there heavy, the fishing is great, and i still see a group of guys there with their salmon lifting rods and they are chasing the fish in the low clear waters.. This past november i caught a Landlock with my net next to the bank that someone had lifted, and they had taken a knife and sliced the fish open and took all of the eggs from the fish. I released to fish of course, but i doubt it lived. They should of just kept the fish instead of slicing it. Some people have no respect, not only for the fishery, but the fish as well. i once heard one guy say, it doesnt matter how many he catches, or how many he kills, the fish wont be there after he dies, so why not get as many as he can....IMO thats a wrong way to look at it. \\Anything the DEC can do to help the fishery on the fingers and anywhere else, i back it up
