That March 20th thing is plain bull [Bleeeeep!]. And thats all I have to say about that.

As far as the decline goes it hasnt declined every year its a 20 year average and the run has gone down 1.9% a year over 20 some years. I believe the run has declined by 39% over the past 20 years or so. You can see for your self at http://www.localaccess.com/troutunlimitedITU%20POLICY%20PAPER%20APPENDIX-color.pdf

Most all the rivers on the Peninsula are in decline so the Quinalt isnt the only one.

As far as the genetics purity stuff goes about the wild fish you can find infor about that on the WDFW stock status report of any of the NMFS stock status stuff. You have to look for it and there are bits and pieces here and there.

Like said before above the Lower Quinalt is the Quinalts river and they can manage it how they want to and there is always gonna be plenty of people to pay to use it.

And there is always gonna be people like me that have opinions that differ from theirs. But thats the great thing about America, we can freely debate and do things the way we want to no matter what other people think. Sometimes it dosent matter if its right or wrong but agian thats all opinion.
