KurtF...Washington Trout is not advocating hatchery reform but hatchery elimination. They have an agenda (and I don't think it is to save fish) and they have joined forces with some rather extreme environmental groups to move their agenda forward. I honestly believe that they either want to stop fishing all together or create boutique fishing for a special minority. I'm really not convinced that they care much about fishing or even the fish for that matter.

eddie: Now that I know who you are I can appreciate your diplomatic slant alot more than I otherwise would have. Being reasonable is the best bet. I think we are starting to make some changes to mend the evil ways of our recent past. I believe some of the things we are doing are working quite well. The WT lawsuit is an extreme measure by an extreme group with an extreme agenda. We should all dig deeper into their motives and try to remove some of the layers of deception so we can make a reasonable decision about the issue. A good salesman can make a case for just about anything.

As far as WT NOT being like PETA...don't kid yourselves.
