For those of you who don't really know, or understand, what is going on in these "secret elite fishery technical committee meetings" please go to; http://www.ci.tacoma.wa.us/Power/parks/cowlitz/default.htm, when you get there, hit "Fishery Technical Committee". You will be able to read their "corrected" public versions of their meeting minutes, and read what they want you to known. There are a few "rats" in this FTC that are willing to give up your sport fishing opportunity on the Cowlitz, and maybe you may be able to identify (smell-out) who these "rats" really are without me saying who they are. Please don't mind the fact that they are only (and always have been) running about 3 months late (I wonder why?). Sometimes it takes awhile to delete all the real facts, to cover your @ss of what you had really said (remember, these are the "new breed" of the good old boys). So much for their BS about public comment and our opportunity to make comment in a timely matter to make any real difference in their actions!

This is not "adaptive management". All this is; is learning how to cover your @ss because you were to d@me lazy to do your job right in the first place, and then face the public with the results of your decision, and the effects that they will have to the fishery! Without any real sport fishermen having a voting right in this elite "decision making committee", and the opportunity to tell the public of what is really being planned, the Cowlitz sport fishery is doomed! As it stands right now, there is nothing more than a bunch of elite snobs that "think they know" what is best for the Cowlitz. Lets make the needed change before it's too late!

I DARE "them" to make comment back to me about this issue. I would love this board to read that debate.

Is the taste of the bait worth the sting of the hook????
