Great idea. Hopefully the majority of folks will know about it and comply.

The local fly club here asks for people not to fish when temps get up there. Not sure how far reaching that is, but it's doing something.

Thanks Benny! That makes scary sense... and I will be instituting on my locals and spreading the word.

This is responsible use of the resource.
We too have thermal impacts on our fragile Guadalupe River here in Texas.
We ask all sportsmen that wish to fish for our rainbows to carry a thermometer and quit fishing when it reads 70.
With low flows like we are having now (4 years into a drought here) that means we quit fishing for Trout in June and won't start again till October. It's the right thing to for the fishery and it's future.
