I should clarify that to say, "the war on ecosystem terror." (BTW, I posted this same topic on I-fish and neglected to do it here.)

That's basically what the Hogan ruling (hatchery = wild) amounts to... a free pass to commit terrorist acts in wild salmon habitats throughout the PNW. For more background info click:

??? hatchery = wild ???

This is a serious call to arms, folks. Every fish organization that has ever claimed to stand for the fish should stand up now and be counted. Lay the divisiveness of gear vs fly, bait vs artificial, boat vs bankee, catch-n-keep vs catch-n-release to rest for just a few moments. We are at a crossroads where a united front of solidarity is mandatory if we wish to preserve any semblance of a wild salmon legacy for our children and grandchildren!

What we need is a multi-state regional coalition of every major fishing organization coming together to endorse a highly publicized position statement rejecting this irresponsible ruling. If you are a member of such an organization, call on your officers to take action and seek the support of other leaders of other organizations. We can make this happen at a grass-roots level. There are thousands of you out there who spend hours a week (or perhaps like me, hours per day) in these fishing chat sites. You have the time! Just do it. You can make a difference!
