"But remember..... IF you really feel that strongly about wild steelhead Sparkey, stop fishing for them, Anything else is hypocracy."

I couldn't agree more. Also, I feel that guilt by association is a valid point. I haven't read the thread on your BB, but I will check it out. Double Haul, everyone can choose to be involved in one manner or another and to whatever extent they choose. You don't have to be a member of WSC or any other group to have the right to speak out about your discontent with whats going on or to care about the resource. Maybe if the statewide WSR ruling would have been part of a public rule change process more people would have been involved.
