The following is a quote:

"Dave thank you for bring up the points about the nets. And I did get a chuckle out of the cliff comment as if you think aobut it it is ver true to this situation. We as sport fisherman need to have our house in order before we start pointing fingers at others............."


Dave...Remember that I am for WSR. My house is in order. Pointing out some loopholes is not pointing fingers or killing Rhinos because poachers do....Far from it...I never said that BECAUSE gill netters harvest wild steelhead we should catch and kill wild steelhead to make things fair and square...What I am saying is that we should catch and release all wild fish but not sit on our laurels for doing the right thing but we need to push hard for a comprehensive policy that shuts down harvest of wild fish by EVERYONE...Sports people are the ones making constant sacrifices while the tribes and commercials have to be forced to. So force the *******s! Mark all hatchery fish...no exceptions. Get rid of this "forgone opportunity" crap if conservation is the reason to stop killing wild fish.

If I don't drive in the carpool lane by myself and watch many single drivers in the carpool lane doesn't mean I am going to jumpp in that lane until all the lawbreakers quit. What it does mean though is that I can be pi$$ed and turn them in. May not do a whole lot of good but I can still try to make it fair for all.
