Plunk,

What I'm saying is that IF a river is left open longer, there are less days in the year where the only ones on the river are poachers.

The longer it takes to "harvest" our share, the longer the river is open.

I don't accept the "minority" tag for CnR fishers, either...I know you don't fish in the CnR season, but I'm sure you take a little drive and see the amount of boats on the water up on the Skagit and Sauk in March/April...it's a lot more than are there in December and January.

Where have you been for the last few months? Didn't realize how much I missed your insights until you came back!

Fish on...

Todd.
