Fishin nut,

Probably a poor play of words on my part. I most definitely am not "indifferent" to what goes on regarding our seasons and I have fought the good fight in years past to get what we deserve.

I more accurately attribute my comment to the fact that natural conditions in the environment are always in a state of flux.........some years, it will result in a closed fishery and I accept that. I did not figure gillnets into the equation when I first responded.

Now, if we are looking at a closure due to overfishing in the past, that "IS THE END OF THE WORLD" and is total B.S. A look back at the flood history for the chehalis basin 4-5 years ago might help shed some light on the factors involved in the closure.

And, finally, I agree that the sporties are too fragmented to have any real effect on change.........at least right now. Someday we'll learn.

Philpac33........Yes Phil I remember you. Got your e-mail awhile back (I responded) which brought everything into focus.
