Salmo,
I have read most of your posts over the past year with interest. You seem to be very well versed in the ways of anadromous fish and don't tend to be a knee jerk reactionary, although I got concerned regarding the knee jerk part in a recent post. Your knowledge is vast and seemingly precise, one can only deduce that you a fish biologist or something of that nature. It seems like most of the time I feel like I am ending where you are just starting. Fisheries management is a huge frustration for this Native and yet I personally lack the knowledge to effectively impact anything. I belong to organizations but they seem uneffective. I guess what I am saying is are you in a position professionally to have a positive impact on our recreational fisheries?? You probably can't answer that but I for one sure hope you are. I personally know Tim Flint, hope this isn't you Tim! And am thrilled with his new position as top dog for anadromous fish in this state. Imagine that, a fisherman as top dog! Thats the kind of leadership I am in favor of. Anyway, thanks for your input, maybe someday we could go stick a hook somewhere together.
