A case? Are you going to sue the state?
As for the Bowfin and Gar, I can only guess that the state doesn't see
an adequate return on its money. Not many Bowfin and Gar fishermen.
Sucks, but I'll bet that's the problem.
I'm sure the preference toward Trout is a regional thing. Lots of people
up there like trout, but having not been so exposed to bass, aren't
really enthused by them. The reverse is true down here; we're all bass
fishermen, but most don't give much thought to trout. Again, it's a
return on investment thing, I think.
Bass are only native to the western portion of PA, right? That doesn't
include the Susquehannah, does it? Would untaking a big program to put
them there really be a good idea? I'm only guessing here since I don't
have a map handy.
Oh, this all reminds me of something. In Dubois, PA in front of the
Pilot truckstop there runs a ditch. In this ditch are some interesting
minnows. They look like big, overgrown Zebra Danios with half their
stripes missing. that is, they are blue and gold striped dorsally to
about halfway down, and then the stripes vanish, leaving a light brown.
I haven't been able to figure out just what these are. Does anybody have
a clue?
