On 1/29/13 Doc started this thread and I have tried to keep it all things fish in the Chehalis. A friend suggested I cut and paste my first comments so we can all ponder how much has changed and how much has not. I was told years ago that the agency resist changes by waiting for you to give up or die. Well my brother is gone but I damn well am not and some of the team ( sometimes referred to as the old gezzer group ) that has worked together off are still here. I think we still have one more good fight in us and when the GH Policy comes up renewal we will not be backing down.

My first post:

The credit for the website videos goes to Tim the site administrator. ( who recently passed away ) I am the gopher / teacher / traffic cop here as I lack the skills to do the videos. Good match really as I have 30 years around fish and the agency and some of the team have even more. The thing about it is this. I am in this for one reason, to break the continuing institutionalized discrimination of WDF&W toward the inland communities and inriver sports fisher. Hopefully in the process help the fish.

Agree or disagree to our views but I think we all can agree on this, the destruction of the resource for the benefit of 22 gillnetters and denying the tax paying citizens of the inland Chehalis Basin communities reasonable access to salmon harvest must end. The failure to allow additional fish to reach spawning areas to utilize revitalized, under seeded, restored habitat must end. The destruction of one species to harvest another must end. Simply put " the Big Lie " that WDF&W manages for anything but commercial harvest must end. It is " game on ".
