Now. tell me why this would be a good ruling, unless your sport is simply that of numbers, availability, and kill, for if that is what fishing is to you, than a trout pond would bring as much satisfaction as a wild stream, with wild fish. Go ahead, vote for Bush, but in this respect, you are voting to forego the very heritage of the wild Northwest. For many, it is just another commodity, to be exploited to its fullest. Fishing is more than that to me.

AMEN, KK, AMEN!
