They said that the sportfishing industry brings in in excess of 30 million licensed fisherman/woman. I wonder just how many of tht is here in Washington. We ought to make our voices heard. Not just for us, but for the future of the sport and the species.

The problem is that the government considers the money sportsmen generate for the economy as "soft cash" (I believe that's the term). That means, they believe that we would spend that money regardless. If fishing is closed, people will spend it on golf or skiing, etc, etc.
