Certainly there a lot of places where rotation would not work or would not be needed. But where you have half the Drake subscribers on the east coast descending on a piece of water like LFZ, and you have people who think they own the spot all day whether they are fishing or not, it is reasonable to think that some way to share could be developed. On the pocket water in town, it would never work, but it never seems that crowded (I don't need the insanity of September anymore). And it would be dangerous on the right bank of the Genesee in the big hole, you need to be half mountain goat just to get along those rocks, and waders are mainly to keep you dry if it rains. But in a pool like the refrigerator, the alternative is to just keep squeezing more guys along the beach until it is shoulder to shoulder, and that can get very ugly as well.
Mr Keith - EXCUUUUUUUUSSSE ME! Western NY is getting posted up as fast as PA, and I know that not all the people coming are from PA, but that is where most of the imports come from here, and NY does not sell non-returnables. And soon there will be nowhere out here to fish except Burt and the Oak, and our little piece of the Genny, which is recently trashed with mainly no refund bottles, cans and energy drink cans, all since the steelhead came on, so you can't blame the salmon fishers, and the urban poor who come down there don't buy craft beers, and they take the cans back to get the nickels. So if it takes high non-resident fees to get me on water on the weekend, keep it a little cleaner without me breaking my back so much for the 30+th year picking up after someone else's kid, and bolster the land acquisition fund, I'm all for it. I don't know the entire story, but there are a lot of tribs, even on the east end, that don't get any plants anymore, possibly because of the lack of access, which may well come from the mess that was left in the past. North Sandy Creek comes immediately to mind, nothing gets stocked there anymore, and at one time that stream was crawling with fish.
I lived in PA for a while and the fishers I encountered were straight ahead honest conservationists. We knew that was changing when we met an off duty PA encon officer on the lower river snagging away (it was only legal to snag from Pineville up back then). If you are one of the good guys, hurray, and thanks for appreciating that you have to exercise stewardship regardless of where you are, if only out of self interest (NY does not allow wading between the posted signs, and there are a lot more all the time, and JP's who might not even think about a fishing violation all take trespass quite seriously ).
And I'm still using up lead I bought from before the ban, a few bags of BB's last a loooooong time. I have yet to see a loon on the SR (at least the winged kind), and I don't use lead when I am in the 'daks. But I'm sure you switch over to tin as soon as you cross the state line.
