Smalma,

We want change from what we have now.

We are tired of getting screwed and yet watching or wild fish populations being decimated.

I dont have the answers but myself and many other people have watched our wild runs go down the tubes while no drastic measures or real changes have been done to make things right.

I was born and raised in Washington state and 3 generations ahead of me the same. Fishing for wild Steelhead has been part of my like forever, it is a part of my culture and a custom.

Alot of things have been done wrong over the years and many have been without intention. Now we know what is wrong but these same mistakes and decimation continue.

All I see is the groups with controll trying to maintain things the way they have been. All I have seen is them throwing the scraps to the sport fishing community in order to keep them from crying. No real change has ever happened.

It is very easy for us to sit here and bad mouth the way things are being managed and entities that manage. These groups have done nothing for us but push us to the side. For years now we have been speeking out and we are ignored.

Our disenchantment is warranted
