 Support the Hickory Shad conservation proposal.
 

Every Spring I hit the Occoquan River for some amazing Hickory Shad fishing. I have always practiced catch and release with this fishery and it never occured to me that there currently are no limits imposed. I support the very generous proposal...even think the limits are too big. That said, without some level of protection, we could lose an important recreational fishery...this is at least a start.
