Sometimes big time drug dealer sell lots of dope but they never touch the stuff themselves! Now why would they do that?
Answer; for $$$$$$ to keep them going!

WT are not dugs dealers, but they do like their money and they will sell whatever it takes to make that money (that encludes fishing tackle and guided trips). Actually they are pretty smart. They are using the sport fishers own time and money to make them enough money to close down sport fishing. Not a bad idea from a business point of view.

Attacking WT will only make them madder and dig in even deeper. A wise person would make there attacks on the business that are supporting this group! Without funding, WT would surly dry up like every other organization does. They may exist, but without funding will be powerless.

I always wonder where WT was when the Cowlitz was being relicensed, especially since the Cowlitz has the largest hatcheries in state. Apparently they did not want to "take on the public" or pi$$ off thousands on sport fishers, the commercial gill netters, or maybe they were afraid of the power and money that Tacoma Power (the owners of the states largest hatcheries) has.

But like they say, sometimes it's a lot easier to bring in a bunch of "little fish" compared to bringing in the biggest one out there!
