lhead: As membership increases in WSC the dues structure could change, there is a minimum dollar level WSC needs to pay it's bills. Those of us who joined initially felt that to get the website up and to get our tax exempt status,to book speakers for our meetings[you do not have to be a member to attend meetings], to lease a meeting place, and to produce a newsletter, was worth the $40. None of the above items are free, and also entail considerable donated time. The speakers we have are biologists and fisheries professionals. We do not have speakers that tell us how to catch more and bigger fish, but professionals that speak of habitat,hatcheries, salmon carcass studies, hooking mortality, wild versus hatchery interaction, etc. etc. Wild steelhead release is the quickest and cheapest way to increase wild fish numbers.
