Plunker-

Hope you didn't take my comments derisively, they weren't meant that way. I was more trying to have some fun with you than make fun of you. I know how passionate you are about retaining wild fish...and as far apart as we are on most things you are like my number two favorite poster here.

Zen-

So....how long before you figure ALL hatcheries are shut down then?

If I understand you correctly the hidden motive of the WDFW in enacting this rule is to begin the process of ending fishing in Washington State? Seems a lil silly to me....

This 'elitist' stuff is a tired, tired argument. Elitist in the sense that we believe a moratorium on steelhead would benefit the depressed fisheries affected?

No more elitist than someone unwilling to admit the potential that they are wrong. In the case of those crying foul on this decision...who would admit that if their position is incorrect the steelhead that so ardently wish to kill are already dead?

The thing that I love most about this whole conversation is that the liberals have the conservative argument and the conservatives have the liberal argument.

...crazy....
