In my humble opinion, this regulation makes sense for river segments that fall under the Gulf of Maine Distinct Population Segment designation (of which the West Branch does fall under but not listed as Critical Habitat). In my other humbler opinion, why even list it under general regulations and cloudy the water when there are also a slew of special regulations in place. List the maximum size under the specific water body and move on.As said above, this regulation has been in place for several years (or more) downeast and other??? places.
