I have not forgottern cowlitsfisherman...just hoping that some of this I'm right/you're wrong crap stops. To a certain extent everything that has been said is correct....the one thing that has not happened is a determined effort to reduce the 'take'. As long as there is a goal that 'reduced numbers of salmon means that price of salmon will stay high' and a high price paid for salmon eggs the slaughter will continue. Don't get me wrong...I like to catch and keep my few each year as well but I never have filled a salmon catch card on my own. This is my belief and I do not force others to do what I want or believe. I also don't look down on others if they do fill more than one catch card. Recovery has to start somewhere though. If the people with the 'gold' will not listen to reason then we need to do something with the 'gold'. After all, they get if from us.
