Certainly a mixed response. More against it of course. Many a Forks local has never stepped foot on rivers elsewhere to see how bad things can be or in some cases, how good it can be from the business end of things.

Frankly, I think many people here are afraid of change and are very "take-oriented" when it comes to any number of resources. And that's not just some of the people from Forks. While they're considered "outsiders" to Forks residents ... a number of Port Angeles people fall into the same category.

I see it as short-sighted and make a buck while I can today and the hell with tomorrow attitude.

On the other hand, I also know of a number of local people that are just fine with the decision and many think it actually didn't go far enough.

There is much talk of selective regulations being proposed and fought for ... and much of it is coming from the very oldest members of the guide community here.
