I realize I am not going to make everyone happy but it clearly states (if you read the blog) that you need to include you're name. Anonymous blogs, positive or negative can not be used. With that said I have recently been informed that I may not be able to use the blog comments at all because you can't sign them. If you are interested in this topic contact ODFW or a local fishing club.
Thank You

Address some comments
The point of the article was to have discussion about the river and who was interested in it. I am not part of an organization and am just interested in continuing to have a river close to home where I can catch fish(I live in Oregon).
The regulations being proposed do not limit the river to flyfishing only you could still use lures.
There is increased use of the river and the entire area below the dam and to ignore the use (and abuse)is not going to help.
I did not start out flyfishing on the river I used worms or grasshoppers. I taught myself to flyfish and realized that evetually I could catch just as many fish flyfishing with less effect on the fish. I still take the kids to the river and sometimes they try to flyfish or use small lures with single hooks.
Baitfishing could be discussed for hours but if you see someone sitting in a chair and their pole resting on a stick I can almost tell you for sure that the fish is going to swallow the bait and you will basically kill it trying to release it.
If the kids want to catch lots of fish and not worry about whether we kill them catching them, We go to the lake or another river where they are planted to be caught and kept.
Hopefully ODFW has a meeting where people can voice their concerns (wherever they are from). The Owyhee is a source of revenue for businesses in Oregon and to ODFW who I think said that Adrian store sells the most single day out of state licenses in the state.
I will check the blog periodically and if you havea question or something I could clarify let me know.
I do know that if it was 10-15 years ago we could probably leave it alone and due to the lack of pressure it would probably not be affected but this river is already known across the nation.
This blog was intended for positive discussion and to let people know of the process for enacting new regulations. If there are negative blogs that are not relevent and no name is included they will be deleted. You have the opportunity, just like everyone else, to make you're opinion known to ODFW.

Proposal to ODFW for fishing regulation changes
Hello,
My name is David Kesey and I have been fishing the Owyhee River for about ten years. As anyone knows, who has been fishing the river, we are overdue for some updated regs. on the river.
My goal is to have people post a comment here on my blog including their name, address and phone number. When the final proposal is submitted to ODFW (Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife), I will print out your comments from here and include them as letters of support for the proposal.
The following, in substance, is the proposal that will be submitted to ODFW by late Feb. 2012:
OCT. 15 TO JAN. 1 CLOSURE OF THE ENTIRE RIVER FROM THE OWYHEE LAKE DAM TO THE SNAKE RIVER, TO PROTECT SPAWNING FISH.
NO BAIT, FLIES AND LURES ONLY, SINGLE BARBLESS HOOK.
If you support these changes please comment and put your name, address and phone number indicating that you support the changes.
Email any questions to dhkesey@yahoo.com
Thanks for your support!
