well...the nets are a big problem and yes there are people causing stinks...there's even been a few initiatives to ban netting..but of course they didnt pass. i used to think that the tribes should be allowed to nett, because of what has happened to them in the past and all that bs..but now im just not so sure, im taking the middle of the road on this one

and how can you say that the brodd programs are doing no harm?? its been proven, not to mention suggested since the start of the damn things.

you want to talk about hanging up a rod? well along in the fight to ditch or lower netting, i would also likke for everyone to campaign against logging practices and the fisheries managment....but what the hell am i saying?!! it will never happen, we as the smart individuals are gonna get to sit back and watch this **** go down, the world will never TRUELY realize what we are doin to this planet till its gone. a lot of the things we bit*h about have so many people with so much money tied up in them that they will never lett any harm come to that program. if people are goin g to make money off of it...they are gonna do it despite the costs to others...

oh... and while i agree with you on the whole lying about plants and smolt counts and stuff, it happens... sad to say but it happens, we as white people do it too, they are not the only ones who lie about our fish...

and i helped out with those smolt counts..they were on the ball this time..

ill play nostradomus here...my prediction is that we WILL NOT have wild fish in most rivers in about 10-15 years...unless we as a society pull our heads outta our butts REAL F*CKIN QUICK!

just my thoughts...problably wrong but thats how i see things
