Keta,
I couldn't agree more with you. Where, oh where, is there an organization to speak for the sport fisherman! There are certainly a couple of groups who would like to take on that job; the Wild Steelhead Coalition (to which I belong) is one of them. Although it was founded as a more or less single-issue group, with getting wild steelhead made catch-and-release year-round and statewide its main aim, it will, hopefully, be looking for new issues to address after the upcoming round of fishing regulation hearings. I'm sure that most of us are aware of the financial impact of sport fishing on the state's economy, as opposed to that of the commercial fishing interests, but the state legislature doesn't seem to be. As one who spent years pissing and moaning about the decline of our sport fisheries without doing anything about it, I can only say: whatever good I might have done, it's been more of a hassle than I ever thought it would be but, at the same time, it's given me a sense of having helped to accomplish something that I'm proud of. So, join a club, put in some time and effort and tackle it one step at a time. I don't mean to sound like a recruitment poster, but we do outnumber the *******s, and numbers count.
