I can't take this anymore a couple of things that people seem to miss:

1) WT has never ever as long as I have known them to claim to be a Fishing organization. They are a environmental organization and have never claimed any differetn. So let go of the this is not a fishing group but an environmential group. They don't claim any different.
2) The lawsuit is only a part of what they do. Stream studies and restoration is also part of what they do and where their money goes so I guess by opposing WT completely you oppose everything they do you don't believe in these either.
3) You can disagree with what they are doing but no one should question what they want. To give Wild fish the best chance to survive and thrive through alll methods. So it sounds like a lot of you don't want this if it hurts you ablity to wack a fish on the head. I for one would never kill an other steelhead if it gave wild fish a better chance of survival.
4) Sometimes for a compromise to occur you have to start at an extreme and work from there for real change.
5) WT i beleive worked with the WDFW for over 2 years, I believe, before they filed suit. So please stop saying that they just jumped in an filed suit without sitting down with the WDFW at the table. They did.

Everyone points fingers else where and it is always someone else's fault well guess what it a combination of everything. You fail to recognize that WT isn't just going after hatcheries but helping with habiitat and harvest and Hydro. They are taking a bigger picture to look at here.

I for one will be there to support WT. As a wise man once said, "He who I agree with 70% of the time is not my enemy."
