Hey Guys,

Haven't put in my 2 cents on the wild fish thing lately and I'm not going to now. Just the same small group of very opinionated people going around and around the wild steelhead issue, just with a new twist. Aren't you guys bored? Don't you see that everyone on this thread's mind is already made up as to what's the right thing to do? How much electricity is being wasted posting these comments? Couldn't that energy be saved for the wild steelhead? wink I'm going to the coast tomorrow to catch some more wild steelhead. Gotta spend time tonight gettin' ready. Last time my buddy and I fished out there, we hooked 9. Hope to equal that tomorrow. Incidently, I've done well this year on 2 rivers for natives, one that gets hatchery fish, one that doesn't. Both require C/R of wild steelhead. I have a clear concious going fishing for natives tomorrow because I'm active with an organization here in OR that supports C/R. Spent a day last month with them doing spawning surveys (not for pay).

I don't have the time/money to belong to every fish-friendly organization out there, to answer the original question of this post. Sounds like WSC is a good organization, though.

Cheers
