Please do think that I am picking on you! You appear to a pretty smart person and I was not trying to put you down, even those it has sounded that way. I have worked with the WDFW over the years, and some of that was involvement in the revising of the WDW/WDF RCW's when the agencies were joined at the hip (now WDFW)!

But remember, what you have said "(and BTW thats the WDFW's example not mine)" The truth is, that is "your" own interpolation, and not what courts may say.

Likewise, my opinions on game laws are not represented by actual case law, but they are represented by a long time effort, both by guiding, writing, working within, and verbal contact with many WDFW personal and staff. Believe me, they know who I am!

They do not always agree with what I may say, buy they do listen, and listen well!

I have spent many years debating fishery issues with the WDFW, both in the courts and as friends. They too understand their own short falls, and depend on us to help them out.

The flossing/ lining issue is nothing compared to the other "real" fishery issues that certainly are facing us.

Do not get discouraged when we take you to task!

Sport fishers need each other like fish need water!
