I am confused, you don't fish in Washington?
Then why the outrage? [/b]
What I meant was, I don't fish any rivers that currently allow a catch and kill fishery on natives. Every river I fish is already C&R only for natives.

I'm mad because this is a measure that will not work. Instead of confronting and dealing with the real causes of the problem, the state chooses this measure as a cop out. It's just the easy thing for them to do. Now, as the runs continue to decline, the state can say, "It's not our fault, we're trying to restore runs, look at the measure we passed." It allows them to pat themselves on the back while doing absolutely nothing that will actually help fish.
