The animosity the people of Forks, both government and private, have toward Bob has always astounded me......

Don't they realize they have the same resources the small towns like Terrace and Smithers BC, etc. have? - Yet because they continue to focus on harvest rather than conservation, fisherpeople from around the world will chose SE Alaska or somewhere in BC over Forks in the drop of a dime for their "once in a lifetime" $5,000/week steelhead vacation. It could be the other way around.....

I truly believe that Bob, despite his guide status, and the majority of members of this site (not you CFM), have the health of WA wild steelhead stocks as their #1 priority. I can not say the same for the business establishments in Forks, the Tribes, or the State.

For them it is the almighty $$$. Ultimately, I know we would forgive the opportunity to fish to see that the species survives. I think the others will continue at status quo until there are none left and they will wonder where they all went.

Thanks to Bob and the WSC for all their hard work!
