Chumkiller, you make some good points about restoration and it's good to see you're actively doing something about it. A look at what Deer Creek has gone through over the years shows what can be done, and prevented, for future generations. That saga started before I loaded up my wagons and moved West but from what I know and have read about it, real change was brought by folks finally saying enough is enough and started getting involved.

There's lots of ways we can get involved with helping our fish and the environment in general. I'm always amazed that more fishermen/women don't see the connection between the two. Every kilowat you burn, every nasty batch of lanudry soap you drain and every stupid thing you do to make a green lawn has effects down the road.

Anyway, thanks for the wakeup.

Bruce
