what seems to be happening is that people like WT want to stop the rest of us from enjoying fishing our way so they can be left to their special little boutique streams full of wild fish.
Ok, just for kicks, let's try applying a little logic here:

How could WT possibly accomplish this, I mean realistically? I'm pretty sure they aren't some all-powerful consortium of flyfishing fanatics who have the power to dictate to the state who can fish and when. If they were, why bother going to court in the first place? Why not just come out and say "Grandpa, we don't think we want you catching any fish (for example) in the Snohomish system." Our club has reservations there all week so no bonkers allowed. A "boutique" fishery for wild chinook salmon? With flies only? In the deep holes of (again for example) the Sky and Snoqualmie?

See how ludicrous that sounds?

Todd, Salmo g, Bob, and others have offered rational, LOGICAL, and realistic opinions on this matter. For whatever it's worth I tend to agree with them. WT's logic escapes me on this issue, but I'm pretty sure they DO care about the future of wild salmon.

p.s. If there weren't such an air of hostility towards WT here on the board, I'd bet that Ramon would probably be willing to answer some of your questions.
