Here are a couple of pics from Drano taken on Wed. A rough count on Wed. morning was over 100 boats and 30 bank fishers by the bridge. We left on Friday afternoon so I would have to guess that there were considerably more boats on Sat.

I have a couple questions.

Facilities, with Drano already having over 100 boats on a weekday and parking and facilities being strained how would you deal with the additional number of tournament boats? On wed. there was literally no place to park and barely enough room on the lake to fish.

Registration, is this tournament registared with WDFW?

You said that "some" of the leftover $6000 would go to NSIA. Would you mind being more specific about how much will be going to NSIA and also does NSIA currently know about this tournament?

Who is running the tournament and does the $6000 - NSIA donations go to this person for his/her time and expenses? What are the forecasted expenses?

With that kind of money on the line I would expect that there would be and offical weigh in station and some published rules and regulations. Is that correct, where can we get a copy of the regulations and rules? Who and how would disputs be handled?

Quote: "In a meeting a few years ago I was sitting next to Clancy Holt and realized that the commercials had their Biologist and Attorney there...the Indians had the same...and we the sportsfisherman had nothing. I wrote this on a piece of paper and wrote..."we Lose!!!"

Is this an attempt to start a "for profit orginzation" to save the fish or a "non-profit orginzation"? If so can you give us some more details about this orginzation and their goals and agendas?
