Here's a few more points of interest from another site.


"First off the NW Fishermen Salmonid Foundation was founded by Chuck Voss. Chuck has been a well known sport fisher since I had came to Washington back in 1986. I believe that Chuck was into sales, and sells promotion advertising at that time. He used to do much of the sales promotion for Limaglas fishing Rods when I first met him. Chuck also was responsible for starting up the first chapter of Trout Unlimited in Washington State in the mid 70's. As you can see, he was and still is a dedicated sport fisher who cares both about the fish , the resource, and the future of our sport fishing. Chuck was a major avocate and player in fighting the Bolt decision.

The Director of the foundation is currently Mr. John Kelly. John is a recognized sport fishermen of long standing in Washington State. John also was the President of the Salmonid Foundation. John's back ground and history to serve the sport fisher is undisputable. He is a retired professional Research / Manager. He is a member of The Steelhead Club of Washington. He was appointed a member of the WDFW Steelhead / Cutthroat Policy Advisory Group (SCPAG) and as been reappoint from 1993 to 2005. John also is a Director and Steelhead Chairman for the King County Outdoors Sport Council (KSOSC) which has over 900 members.

And lastly, when I asked Mr. Kelly if the Foundation had paid Dr. Brannon for his research, his response was that he was not paid a single penny by the foundation. He told me that Dr. Brannon peronally feels that the science has been misused and that he wanted people to know just how bad it's been abused. Mr. Kelly will be seeking funding soon to Have Dr Brannon flown out here to attend one of the up coming SCPAG meeting later this year. He will be willing to answer question at this special meeting when it occurs.

If all others could be so open, we just might resolve many of the myths about our hatchery fish and how they can or can't be co-mingled. "
