Elkrun,

I'm not suggesting that it's selfish to want to fish. It's the apparent attitude of some of the posters who seem to value their opportunity to fish far more than the fishery resource itself. I value my fishing opportunity a lot, also. However, if I and most of you don't place a higher value on the resource than the opportunity, is it reasonable to expect to sustain a resource into the future? This is not about feeling guilty for wanting to fish; it's about the common sense application that without fish, the opportunity isn't worth much.

And it just cracks me up that so many anglers rush to judge WT's allegations as bullsh!t because they disagree with them, not because they know what flaws there may actually be. Responses like that make fishermen in general look like a bunch of dimbulbs. No wonder political groups don't take us seriously - we're no threat to anyone but ourselves - and a few fish.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
