I did not realize this but it is no surprise that the Hitch are exploited.

How legal is it to pump water out of a public lake? This definitely should be banned.

Is there a large market for harvested hitch? There needs to be a moratorium placed on hitch immediately.

Before the dfg does extensive research, kill bass, etc. they need to lessen/stop human exploitation FIRST.

Also those seasonal roads that are packed up need to be outlawed as well, sickening that for a few months of driving convenience a species of fish is adversely affected and I am sure other repercussions occur.

This is a really interesting thread to read, I enjoy the fish talk a lot.
