Ive often thought about "what ifs" Wouldnt it be a kick if ID didnt clip adipose fins but clipped say a maxilary or something and not say anything about it till the ID season was about to open. All the lower river guys would be crying about " all the natives this year". LOL
they would have to clip something or we wouldnt be able to retain any fish.
Based on some new research, clipping adipose fins may be stopped. A new study found that the adipose fin isnt just a fleshy fin. Its filled with sensory organs that likely help the fish position itself in current. After reading it, my first though was, I wonder if this is "The" reason for low hatchery returns.
