But a ban? Like banning fishing for a year? Please tell me you're not serious.

No, of course not! I have fished places where there is a ban on certain species. The idea is that people are not actively trying to catch some types of fish and if they do, must release. Not perfect as one can accidentally catch something they are not supposed to, but it has been effective in some places.
I was curious to hear from people much more knowledgeable that I about ideas to help the salmon population.
I’ll be fishing this weekend and am all for it. At the same time, I want my future grandchildren to be able to fish in clean waters with an abundant, healthy, and diverse fish stock so want to be sure my actions help support that goal.
