Bruce , Sparkey posted this thread on 3/2 the day before the WSC membership meeting. What items the WSC supports and doesn't support are discussed at the WSC board meetings. The fish-in that Sparkey has brought up was not an item brought up at the last board meeting(2/24) and thus can't be supported or sanctioned as a WSC event. Just because Sparkey discussed his idea with some people at the meeting doesn't mean that it is a WSC idea, thus Double Haul's(WSC President) comment.
The rest of your commets

It is a well know fact that WSC was a major player in the statewide WSC ruling. If you feel so strongly about your beliefs then why do you feel the need to put distance between WSC and the fish-in? Stand up for what you believe in! It does seem that WSC is directly involved in the fish-in, or at least a big supporter of it but at the same time they want to distance themselves from it??

Could it be that they don't want to be officially "affiliated" because they don't want to see a protest directed directly at them? Do they want to give out the appearence that this fish-in is just a bunch of "regular fishing folks"? I don't know... but I am somewhat confused about this whole thing.

are made up based on false assumptions. We are staying the course and will not back down .
