Kerry –
I can hope that you are correct and that folks stay involved in the fight for the resource. However experience has shown that is unlikely. Even those involved in this debate who have great passion for steelhead (both sides) represent just a very small fraction of these state’s anglers.

Unfortunately I haven’t seen or expect to see much of this interest translated to interest in other important arenas. It would appear that this interest is a single focus one (a very narrow one at that) with little carry over.

Hopefully folks will prove me wrong.

Tight lines
