T rex,

That was not a threat it was not even intended to come close to a threat. I feel it is important that those who do not support the moratorium and who are responsible human beings should know about this threat by people who believe as they do. No one minds their name in the forks paper but the threats of a hangmans noose and the other BS that goes along with it now that's a different story. I have complete respect for those who are against the moratorium and will go about having their say in the proper way. All most all of us who support the moratorium will support the rights of those against, this is America right! But they should know that their are some folks making some pretty serious threats on their behalf.

River Shrk.
There are many of us who have volentarly cut back on our C&R fishing for just that reason and many more are following. Also many of us who believe in C&R on wild steelhead do eat fish that we catch. I eat flounder, salmon when legal, crab, shrimp shell fish you name it. For many of us we hope someday that we can kill a wild steelhead in the future for the table. We just don't feel it's now because of the dropping # even on the OP. It is sad that there are those who want to paint us as eleitests, most of us are just scratching by like everyone else. God I depend on what I catch on many weeks because the bills some months far out reach my wallet. If the rivers need closing down or a bottom fishery needs to be closed down then lets do it. But we are trying to let everyone still fish those beautiful rivers and trying to do the least amount of damage. It's not perfect idea but it is not going to kill nearly as many fish.
