A MUST READ! Ted William's Conservation column in March '02 "Fly Rod and Reel"
Agree, disagree or abstain, for anyone interested in, concerned with, affected at all by East Coast striped bass (read, practially everyone I've met face-to-face on this board), Ted William's column in the March FR&R, entitled "Striper Recovery - Not" should be required reading.
While I'm not a biologist, nor do I profess to understand all the intricacies of fisheries management etc., William's articulates a lot of what I believe intuitively: namely, that the striper "recovery" is in name only, we're on the verge of yet another crash, and if we don't speak up now as recreational fisherman we've only ourselves to blame.
Ok,read & flame on...
