While I agree with some of your ideas, I do see a huge value in keeping this important recreational fishery viable. This is the fishery where kids learn to joy of fishing. And we need kids starting this sport to keep out base large enought tohave any political clout at all. It is also a way the casual angler can go out and have a good time and catch something.

I have fished Tye lake for the last two days. it has no dock, a really simple launch and dozens of folks are out enjoying the fishing. money well spent in my opinion.

BTW I have often wondered what is costs us per adult hatchery steelhead caught. I bet its a ton. Anyone know?
