Yes, I would like to see sleds limited on the smaller rivers, limit the number of bankies at Blue Creek, and no bank fishing on McCallister Creek. I would like to see the sunrise without hearing the roar of a sled, or the slamming of truck doors as I make that first cast.
But ya know, it just isn't possible on most of our waterways anymore.

If the spawning beds or erosion are the reason, then I say lobby the F&G.
If it is because you think the waterway is too small, or that the sleds cruise the runs and scare fish, I say educate the boater and practice tolerance.

If we can prove a bio/eco reason then I am all for it, but I am tired of self indulgent, PETA lover BS. If we were given a choice right now, we would be divided on "below or above" Black Creek on the Wynoochee.
All sportsmen need to stick together, give and take on the issues, but don't ban any outdoor activity with out Bio/Eco reasons.

For what Bio/Eco reasons were hound hunting and trapping banned?
None!
More self indulgent, Peta BS!

Peace.

PS. How many fishermen are going to help out the archery hunters in the coming years? I can give you two reasons why you should.
1. They love their outdoor recreation just as much as the fishermen. How would you like to have fishing takin' away? (it will happen soon if PETA has their way)
2. If they are not hunting in the fall, you can bet most of them will switch to fishing and will be joining us on the rivers. (they are outdoorsmen after all)

Sorry so damn long!
