I hope you find away to get involved to help our ailing steelhead runs aside from yapping on a BB. For me it's enough said on the issue.
Not sure I need to apologize DH, I kinda feel like those of us on the "other side" should be getting the apology. When an organization is so actively involved with such a controversial decision, it suprises me that they wouldn't expect scrutiny. Thats the way it is when you become political as a club or organization, you please some and pi$$ of others. This is a huge decision that effects a lot of anglers, you didn't think the questions would go away, or get easier did you? The comments I read there concerned me. The "pro" camp kept asking for some new questions.... "tired of answering the same thing over and over...." I asked a new question, do you as a group agree with these ideas posted on your BB? I felt it a fair question. Since it wasn't a personal attack, I'll skip the apology.

PS: As for the do something comments: I got involved, I quit fishing for them.. I highly recommend it. I absolutely will not have any negative impact on the wild steelie runs on the OP during March and April. Also involved with a couple of clubs that generally promote fishing, good times, and some legislation here on the OP. No real big political plans however, If I could I'd make it so people could only use flyrods (preferably custom sage flyrods, armed with barbless clouser minnows) while pursuing coho in saltwater. What a wonderful world it would be! Well, at least I think so. ;\)
