Use of the <br />impoundments, however, gets us back to the problem of private <br />property. <br />Mr. Adams continued to emphasize that we should move in the <br />direction of opening up the impoundments. He contended that you <br />cannot have development and commercial fishermen too. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Bird, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Scurlock, to schedule a special meeting <br />at the earliest opportunity for all those interested <br />to discuss the river in detail, bring in other areas <br />of expertise, and gather input and ideas to be explored. <br />Commissioner Wodtke informed those present that he has lived <br />in the County for 51 years and for about eight years he was a <br />commercial fisherman, although he usually stayed outside. He <br />believed commercial fishermen are a very special breed of <br />individuals and that we need to look at their problems; banning <br />them is not the answer. He did agree there are problems, and as <br />there are sometimes bad County Commissioners, there are also bad <br />commercial fisherman, but Commissioner Wodtke felt that the 3" <br />mesh will make a big difference. He stated that a net that is <br />worked properly will not damage the river, and we need to address <br />those who are causing damage and not harm those who are.doing <br />this correctly. Commissioner Wodtke felt that we have had an <br />indication that the sport fisherman and commercial fishermen can <br />work together and there has got to be a place for both. <br />Chairman Lyons suggested that Mr. Wegner as a representative <br />of the sports fishermen work with Mr. Sembler as a�representative <br />of the commercial fisherman and try to establish communications. <br />THE CHAIRMAN CALLED FOR THE QUESTION. <br />It was voted on and carried unanimously. <br />54 <br />
