Thanks for all the kind words guys.

Yes Fish Doctor, that fish came from the Vedder - my river, at least I wish it were my river. (It was named for a distant relative, but the rascal didn't have the decency to leave me a couple of miles of river.).)

Any grandpa, you have p***ed me off more than anyone else, well maybe not more than CFM, but the truth is we share a lot more than we disagree on. Politics, other than fish politics, is really not worth arguing about. We do share a belief in sport fishing, a concern for the fish and a love of the chase. That’s enough of a basis for a friendship, or at least mutual respect.

As for the sport fishing advisory position, I wasn’t kidding when I said I had no desire to serve. My posting that news notice from WDFW was simply to let folks know about the call for nominations. I still do not want to be on that commission. I doubt they would take me anyway, as I too have been quite critical of the dept for years.
