Keep smiling, C-Man. I'm in your corner. You've been a guru, and helped me to understand many things that puzzled me. Since I published my book, "Fishcop", this year, I've talked to quite a few ex-Fisheries folks who bought it and we talked about how things were, and could be again with a differing approach. But nothing will ever be the same again. The leadership didn't do its job, and look where we are now.

My winter life has changed significantly with the peninsula streams closing for steelhead. Maybe on a sunny day in February I'll just go row the Clearwater, just because.
