I side with the hippies on this one. Forage fish are the foundation, the better off they are the better off our local fisheries are.

Oregon-based Pew Environmental Group. "Suspend any new fisheries unless and until we can show that they can be fished at a sustainable level."
This part concerns me, I support the reasoning but this wording is suspect. Espically coming from some one from out of state. Smelt are good halibut bait and some enjoy eating them. I would like to see a plan drawn up rather than ban everything and figure it out later. I stand on the side of hard science to prove the need, then regulation, not the other way around. I am only talking about on a recreational level too not commercial. Maybe I'm wrong but I don't like when someone form another state tells my state how to spend my tax dollars against me.
