My observation is that fishing, recreational, commercial, and treaty, are next to non-issues at the level of governor-ship in the state. Fish and the ESA (Endangered Species Act) are issues that land on the political radar screen because it affects other interests that are always on the governor's radar screen.

The economy, large business interests, human health, education, environmental quality, and crime will always supercede something like our fishing hobby as significant political issues.

I would like to see a candidate who actually takes a serious interest in the health of our state's fish populations, tho.

Sincerely,
