Putah Creek Trout has submitted a request for a change in the FGC regulations that, if passed, would make from Monticello Dam to Lake Solano a year-round, zero limit, barbless artificial lures only fishery.
Public support of the regulation change is a critical step in the process. We are requesting e-letters of support from the general public, addressed to the Fish and Game Commission and forwarded electronically to the commission during the 45 day public comment period between August 28 and October 12. Please consider completing the online e-letter with your name and address and sending it to FGC through the listed e-mail link. All submissions will be confidential and passed directly to FGC. Do not send duplicates as this could void your submission. Each individual's effort in sending this letter can have an impact on assisting with the approval of this regulation change.
To all-since you have all completed and submitted your letters by now, how about emailing all your friends with the www.flyfishingforum.com link and have them complete the letter, then forward the link to their friends? Support can come from nonfishing folks as well; in fact it helps to have a variety of responses from the general public. If they own a business, thats also useful. Instead of a street address, put in the business name.
Thanks to all who have sent your letter in-we have over 200 responses so far, but we need many more.
Is it possible to get some sort of petition drive going? Like someone setting up at a Farmers market, or at a Beach Clean-up day? How about leaving the form letters in bulk at shops and such? If possible, I'll do what I can.
