I would pay any price to fish also.
I couldn't imagine not fishing. I do not fish for the meat. I would like the WDFW and other management powers to be, to recognize that us sportsmen are responsible for the majority of monies in licenses, tackle, guide cost, hotels etc, and overall monies back into washington communities and families. When majority of runs are given to commercial and/or tribes, who don't give back as much, it gets me a little irked. Sometimes I think if enough sportsmen didn't buy a license for a year or so, the state would wake up, and start catering to our requests. I am sorry if it seems like complaining/whining.
