I am really confused by this statement from above?

"This no fishing when wild fish are around mentality is simply a cop-out and nothing more in my book."


I thought that WSC and everyone for the most that posts on this site was for saving the steelhead??? If its truly threatened and truly endangered and truly in such bad shape (which I think they are in many areas) why would we want to target them? Again, I'm confused??

Is this truly about saving the fish or saving a "way" of fishing? Or is it to save fishing? I am really confused because if this is about saving the fish, I believe it (WSR) may flawed ?????

My point is if they are so bad off, MAYBE and thats a BIG MAYBE we shouldn't be fishing for them in ANY way until they recover. Am I wrong? Please tell me how this is wrong given the scenarios, charts and all the information that has been presented here and in the media and by the biologists? Just trying to get to the bottom of this. Unless all of this information that has been so adimetly posted as being correct is actually wrong.

Or is it that they aren't that bad off in some areas? What is it? Does anybody know?

Or is the REALITY that we are all just really stuck in the mentality to get as big a piece of the pie as possible without really addressing the issue in fair manner? Which is saving these fish? I am still confused???


I certainly don't have the answers, just asking questions...
