Here it comes. Agenda item 2.
Oh man, that's brutally lame. Item 2 from that link:
"Emergency regulation concerning suspending, delaying or restricting sport and
recreational fishing
Consider adopting an emergency regulation authorizing the California Department of
Fish and Wildlife to temporarily suspend, delay, or restrict sport and recreational fishing
in specific areas within the state when necessary to protect public health from the threat
posed by COVID-19.
(Pursuant to Sections 200, 205, and 399, Fish and Game Code)"
Is that really necessary? Seems to me that the few people who are still getting a little fishing in probably have better social distancing than wherever they wrote that regulation...
But the airports are open...
I believe their motivation is to prevent all of the trout fisherman from heading to the mountains and small towns while this is still active. Hopefully they just delay the trout opener and that’s it!
Just a thought? Since the ability to fish has been stalled due to the virus, can we fisherman have our license validness extended beyond the expiration date to take into account the months of restricted fishing? Do ya'll catch my drift?
If you do the math I pay $4.25 a month to fish... multiply that by however many CA license holders and you have Millions owed to us license holders!
Better think twice DFG... we will want our money$$$
I read this on the internet, therefore it must be true.
Fishing Rights in the Middle Ages
The difficult economical conditions under which the poor classes lived in the Middle Ages kept even those for which fishing was the essential means of subsistence from rebelling against the establishment of restraints which in fact prevented them from fishing. On the other hand, the establishment of these reserves happened gradually and initially involved just some stretches of rivers, therefore at the beginning this limitation was bearable for the citizens. This slow usurpation succeeded in its intent not to cause too much discontent in the populations involved.
@Harvest Time: I'm surprised fishing was even legal for non nobility in the middle ages. Hunting for example was only for super rich people. And even on the off chance a peasant was given access to some noble's land to hunt, the entire economic system was set up so he wouldn't have any time to do it anyway. And if you got caught hunting illegally, you could be killed. So, for whatever it's worth, I'd say conditions have improved a bit on that front.
And sign me up for the $4.25 campaign!
And that meeting about possibly suspending fishing season is tomorrow (Thursday) at 8:30am. Looks like it's a "webinar". There's a link at the top of this page to join the meeting virtually, and it looks like we can even participate?

Thoughts on anything we can do?
I'll help spam the public comment section on behalf of the 4.25ers, if it helps.
