I can speak for Bob R and his wife Melanie...they have been going to many Commission meetings and also take the time to go to the NOF in Region 6. They both have spoken at not only the Commission meetings but also many NOF meetings, always to positive items that would benefit conservation and sports persons.

Dealing with WDFW can be a real frustration, some of us have been "fighting the fight" to get funds spent for mitigation on the Wynoochee. There is a pot of money, about 2.4 million, that is for steelhead and Coho. THIS MONEY HAS BEEN IN A FUND SINCE 1992, not one penny has been spent for what it was intended to be spent for......grrrrrrrrr

There are 2 primary agencies that "supposedly meet" to get this money spent. WDFW and QIN are the 2 agencies that are involved. The public is not allowed at these meetings, so we don't know the issues that have stopped this process for 26 years. The Commission is well aware, and have said "get this matter taken care of"....nothing...…

Some of us have ask the questions over and over...…"black hole"....Ron Warren, and other WDFW personnel, have knowledge of this and continues to do nothing.


NT Gill netting needs to "go away"....plain and simple, WDFW and our Commission took away years of gains in a 5 to 1 vote.....grrrrrr
