We'll be there...and we'll make our position known. I also look forward to meeting many of you who I haven't met before...

For those who can't be there due to prior commitments, you will have members of pretty much every conservation and fishing group that I know of in Washington there.

We'll get our point across. Whether they (the Commission) listen to it or not is up to them. Either way, you'll all get reports from those who are there, and you'll be able to assess the importance of wild steelhead and salmon recovery, and sportfishing, in this state by how they all vote this week on this subject.

Good luck to all who attend.

Fish on...
