But we can get our house in order so when they come and try to blame the Recreational fisherman we have our ducks in a row.

What I am saying is that while we have are "ducks in a row" the fish populations are still declining so what good does it do to look at ourselves, as the problem is still getting worse? wouldnt our efforts be better spent on projects that actually help the fish rather than projects that are slowly evaporating are ability to fish. While the main problems are rapidly taking away are ability to fish at all.

every year I see more and more rule proposals on the wdfw website, last year in particular we lost alot of ground even antifishing groups are now posting rule proposals! and getting them adopted by the board. This is not going to save our fish! It just gives people the false sense that there helping to save the fishing future while there taking the fishing out of fishing!

Our fish are still disapearing
