My deepest apologies for being Debbie Downer — if you’ve been following the Farmington River situation, you know it’s been a constant stream of un-good news — but the bureaucrats at the ASMFC are at it again.

Here are two resources to get you better better informed. The first is from our friends at the American Saltwater Guides Association. I encourage you to read Striped Bass Board Delays Addendum II in its entirety. Especially if you’re in a good mood and need a reason to get mad.

For a briefer summary, read this blog post from Stripers Forever.
