your 2 cents is awesome, and 100% the truth just saying. unfortunately someone will combat your 2 cents and come up with some nonsense trying to prove bait is harmless or lures and flies are worse then bait,yet they never have any info to back it upThe bait ban is an excellent idea and when it passes it will greatly improve the wild trout population. What a lot of people do not know is that the ban will still allow bait fishing for salmon and steelhead, there will simply be a required minimum gap width for all bait hooks. This will help to prevent so many wild trout being gut hooked with small hooks. If people want to sling power bait with tiny treble hooks, they should fish somewhere where there is not a struggling population of wild trout. They haven't stocked this part of the river in three years and this is the next step with helping the trout, next they will hopefully reduce the limit and implement a slot limit for keepers. The same thing was done on the deshutes and the metolius rivers and they have both been successfully restored to the world-Class trout streams that they were. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.... I'm just giving my two cents!
