Geoduck-
I have stated numerous times that I do not believe that problem is fishing pressure. The problems arise from the 4-H's plus marine survival.
If you would of read my original post, you would see that I was implying more then just harvest. As fishermen, we can involved ourself in the other H's. My question to the Board and especially those opposed to the WSC, what is your alternative?...what are you going to do to involved yourself in issues facing wild steelhead?
My question is (and I asked this in the past on The Board but I recieved a lackluster respsonse)...What are you going to do? What is your plan?
BUT, if you are going to attack WSR and attack the WSC, I would love to see what your involvement is in wild steelhead conservation/preservation. ...and sitting back and not fishing does not count. Nor does *****ing about the Indians.
The WSC is heavily involved in other issues pertaining to wild steelhead. There are also other organizations that spend countless hours and money helping to protect wild steelhead and/or their habitat.
There are also certain members on this board who spend countless hours on watershed committees. Homer2Handed nearly exhausts himself fighting for habitat and protection of the Stilliguamish basin.
