Should cutthroat regs be repealed?

From Greg Thomas, editor of Fly Rod and Reel Magazine and owner of the Angler's Tonic website:

"I’m a big fan of fishing in north Idaho and I love that area’s cutthroat streams, including the Coeur d’ Alene, St. Joe, Lochsa, Selway, Kelly Creek and Clearwater. Over the past four years there have been catch-and-release only regulations on the St. Joe and Coeur d’ Alene rivers and dedicated fly fishers have seen overall numbers and size of the cutthroats in those systems increase.

Unfortunately, a vocal group of fish-whacking fanatics is pushing the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to repeal the catch-and-release regs and allow harvest of native westslope cutthroats."
