Folks,

What I don't understand is how/why we got ourselves into this mess in the first place. Once we recognized depleting runs, why didn't we put "controls" in place or at least stress "controls" to the point of exhaustion. It may be too late and now we're complaining. Yes, we are facing a problem at effects all of us. Very few want to take the lead and fix what's right. Even more of a disappointment, fewer want to follow. Question is, "What's right and what do we need to do to fix this?" True we can blame (or should I say claim) population, hatcheries, etc., but ultimately we need to blame ourselves. We need to collectively agree, move on, and do what's right (whatever that maybe).

As a kid, I can remember the Puyallup and the Green number 1 and 2 respectively. Can we get that back? Let me buy a lotto ticket and I'll tell you Wednesday night. (Hopefully, we'll come close to restoring those numbers.)

With the right collective attitude and aggressiveness, we'll all win in the long run.
It is up to us as sportsmen/women to fix this.

Downriggin'
