Everyone agrees that Tribal harvest is a big problem. Some of us disagree that CnR will have a positive impact on the runs as long as the tribes continue to net.

Lets forget about the tribal net factor, now It is safe to say almost all of us agree that CnR for wild steelhead has bennefits.

I think it is also safe to say that a large portion of the group that is against it under the circumstances we have now would support if tribal netting was stopped.

So why go after your fellow sport anglers who have the same goal of more fish. I dont think there are any steelhead anglers out there who wish we had less wild steelhead. Why not focus your attention on the sale of comercail caught steelhead or another factor that has lead us to this point instead of groups that want to improve wild steelhead angling and overall numbers of fish.

I gues if all you want to do is kill and eat some wild steelhead then you cant be reasoned with so just be mad at whoever you want.

I think the statements I made are pretty much true. So my question is this. CnR of wild steelhead is a reality now atleast for the next 2 years, people that did not support it have the right to be upset or oppose it.

I dont understand why people that opposed it are bashing groupls like washington trout and the WSC. The public purposed rule change for wild steelhead release, the commission decided the issue was important even though the WDFW did not feel it needed to be one of the issues that needed change. As has already been said the commission has the right to make amendments.

All the WSC and WT did is make purposals and give testimony on this issue nothing more. The commission made a decision based on the process.

I dont understand why people are mad at each other, this is the american way at work.
