I truely believe CnR will unite fisherman. We will not all agree with CnR as there is a group of fisherman that appose it but I bleieve it will untie us in the sense of bringing about a change in our management on wild steelhead.

With the way things are now both sport fishers groups are loosing. We have lost CnR opportunities due to declining runs and at the same time we are loosing catch and kill opportunities due to declining runs. Instead of fighting to change management we fight each other about who should get the scraps that are still available. This issue is making it possible for our fish managers not to fix the real problems.

WDFW's actions in the rule purposals this year has shown they are affraid of what CnR will bring about, it is really crystal clear they are staying away from this issue because they know what it will cause
