Here is a quote from Ramon VB, spokesman for Washington Trout:

"Becoming the "eyes and ears" of a grassroots environmental organization like Washington Trout can help empower community..."

I can't say Ramon has ever defended WT as a fishing organization but others on this board have. I maintain that they are more of an extreme environmental/ animal rights type organization.

I have been reading alot of background to become more educated on WT and find a common thread with the Audobon Society and other special interest groups who seem to not want fishing to occur much if at all.
