John...

Its not the trolling.... Its the return trip to Weirs with a live fish.

The fish have to be ALIVE when delivered to the weighing station at the Weirs. Not all boats have live wells for the fish. If you caught a 6lb tagged salmon up in Moultonborough Bay, the fish would more than likely be dead before you could idle your way to the Weirs...

I know alot of local businesses (at least the ones I have talked to) are looking forward to a successful Spring Derby. They lost alot of $$$ with no snowmobile tourism over the winter.

I don't think its going to be much of an issue. The wise ole Dam Operators have increased ther output of the dam, and it has stopped raining. The Lake is high, but I don't think its going to get high enough to warrant a lake-wide NWZ. Unless of course it rains again...
