I just watched the video of the CR hearing and LIMITED public comment. The current brain trust occupying the seats on that commission as well as those occupying the upper echelon of salmon management at WDFW are an embarrassment to salmon conservation.

HUGE step backward.

Policy isn't failing, you dimwits! The guys charged with its implentation are failing. If staff had just done what the policy directed them to do, we'd be so much better off today, esp in the arena of alternative gear. No one had the balls to just make the alternative gear happen, or incentivize/coerce the commercials to switch over. Just more excuses about how it can't/won't work! Just enabling folks to NOT change!

And now those same sorry excuses are being used as the catalyst to abandon ship. J F C.... talk about ridiculous!
