Jacob, tell me how all this clamoring and complaining is going to help the situation. We have been for years trying to get this C/R in effect.
How long have you been steelheading? Do you really love the resource?
If this had gone in effect when I was just a young one , maybe we would not even be talking about this, have you ever been to a river in AK that has catch and release in effect? The runs are almost as big as salmon runs, lots of fish to play and let go. We too can enjoy this kind of thing even if you think it is too late.
Lets quit talking of the sacrifices of the green being told, we can go on about rivers in my neighborhood too, the Nisqually in fact, used to be a great steelhead river. And I don't want to hear about the tribal fisheries, like I said, we cannot do much about them. And I too, Cringe when I go over a river and see those floats and nobody else can fish. But after a few years of non catch, maybe we can sway our thinking to them.

IT IS WORTH THE TRY!
