I am sending out one e-mail to give an idea of what I am trying to do. I
have made some phone calls to WDFW and talked with some folks at the state
level. I need to have more information from them to see what we can do.

I am reseaching the issue now. I meet with Curt Hughs from WDFW on Thursday
1/13/05 to get more information on how the seasons are set, how the
estimates are done etc. I will do my best, however the county has no
jurisdiction on tribal or state fishing rights and rules. Is there any way
that the Poogie Club of GH can get involved and maybe we start a ground
swell organization to bring about some needed changes? I am getting quite a
few e-mails, mostly from guides. I would like to hear from others and
especially the local sports fishermen. The more people that get involved
the more effective we can be. This is a pretty serious issue. I just spoke
with Chuck Letkin, (spelling?) about a meeting at the Natural Resources
Building in Olympia on Wednesday 1/12 at 2:00 PM. supposed to be about
steelhead netting seasons. I have it on my calendar and plan to attend.

I'll keep you posted.


This is what I just recieved from Al Carter. At least he is trying to do something!
