Poachers are going to poach. Whether that be over limits, undersized fish, gigging, or closed seasons.

All the enforcement in world is not going to stop it. One only needs to look at the War on Drugs.

The question is, at what rate is this poaching happening? Is it out pacing legal harvest?

So will adding more restrictive regulations be a positive move even without an increase in enforcement?

Most definitely. For every poacher I'd lay good money there are 1000 honest fisherman that will abide by the regulations.

MDC : "In the sections of the following streams, smallmouth bass are protected due to their sporting and fishing value, so all smallmouth bass must be released. There will be no gigging allowed in these sections."

Fish possession and gigging can occur elswhere on other streams.

Would be nice.
