We're not going down there to fight over fish. It's a matter of principles. if we say "Screw it" and leave the Skok for the Indians, then where do we stop. So what, we leave the Skok to the indians and we head for the Barrier dam. What do we do when we get down there and everyone is snagging? Do we say "Screw this too" and head for the Toutle? What if we don't like what we see on the Toutle? Do we just leave? Where do we stop? Where do we make our stand? Shouldn't we put our collective foot down somewhere and say "This is it! I'm not taking this crap any longer!?" Why should the honest sportsmen always be the ones to give in? Why can't something be done to reclaim what is ours and to make fishing pure again? Shoulder to shoulder with Triple hooks and Buzz Bombs, right in the middle of a bunch of nets is not how it was meant to be. So why should we suffer? Why should we give up? I must admitt, I was very discouraged when I first started this thread, and I even considered the whole "If you can't beat them, join them route" but now that I've seen how many others are concerned about this issue, I have re-thought my earlier statments. Sinking to the level of others is never the answer, niether is giving up.
