"Yes, other species eat some of them, that's part of the natural selction process that I feel is often left out of our management objectives ... but they've always been there and they're supposed to feed on them per Ma Nature."
Bob,
I understand that nothing can be done about the "natural selection process", I guess I just posted a little out of frustration. Seems to me that WT is "barking up the wrong tree" wouldnt other factors such as damns, net by-catch or over commercial fishing be a more crucial factor in the demise of these fish?

"BTW-
Washington Trout will have to realize they are shooting themselves in the foot!...They are losing supporters and potential supporters everyday. And one of these days...they will have run out of funds...a terrible demise to a group that had so much potential"

Sparkey,
I would hope for their sake (WT'S) that they would see it that way too.
