Look at all these groups, they are all conservation oriented, they whant what is best for our wild fish.
These groups were started by anglers for the most part and all of these groups are willing to sacrifice there oportunity for the good of the wild fish.
These groups have no hidden agenda all they want is to rebuild our wild fish stocks and secure them for the future and they are willing to sacrifice their oportunity to harvest hatchery fish or not fish at all to do so. Instead they are willing to put their fishing time and money to save the wild fish.
Most of the people beotching about these groups are willing to do nothing but blame everything accept hatcheries or them selves for being selfish. You people have got blinders on and untill you take them off you are part of the problem.
selfish greedy selfish greedy selfish greedy selfish greedy. That about explains the minset of most.
You could say the same about P.E.T.A , OR A.L.F. Washington Trout seems to have alot in common with those enviromental groups.
The fishermen supporting WT are the ones with the blinders on! If you really think closing hatcheries is going to stop commercial and tribal harvest your high on P.C.P! It will stop sportsfishing and by Washington trouts actions that seems to be there agenda!
Use your brain dude, no hatcheries = 100% native fish harvest Duh.
If Washington trout had the fishes best interest on there agenda they would push for more selective fishery regulations, better run hatcheries, and banning all nets. Am I willing to hang up my fishing rods? hell no! I am a fisherman dammit not a bunny hugger. Am I willing to make some sacrifices? Yes, I think we all have already done that through increasing regulations and for instance thanks to commercial overharvest such as 39% over qouta by the indians on the Columbia cutting our season short!
Am I willing to make more sacrifices? YES. But I will not suffer in vain! Come up with a plan that works and I will support it 100%
After all having fish is in everybodys best interest isnt it?
