Grandpa,

I'll have to make this really short...

No one was trying to disrupt the meetings, not anyone outside at the crab convoy nor anyone inside giving public testimony. Folks were exercising their right to give public testimony when they governing agency is making decisions that affect things that are important to them.

And by the way, I'm a founding board member of the Wild Steelhead Coalition, the WSC's VP of Political and Legal Affairs...and pretty much the only time I flyfish is for trout. I'm a die hard egg fisherman...always have been.

Every time WSR comes up folks start tagging it as an idea put forth by a small minority of fly guys to create a fly only fishery. The most ironic thing is that they usually follow it up by saying WSR advocates should be more "inclusive". WSR advocates are very inclusive, and include people from all walks of life and all walks of gear types. And surveys show...they are not a minority, either.

Misrepresenting those things is being exclusive, not inclusive.

Fish on...

Todd.
