Todd,

You are tainting the illusion that WDFW works so hard to create.

It seems that whenever WDFW has a press release or photo op, it is to reinforce their vision of citizens who: buy a license, take the kids out on opening day, then stow their rods til next year.

Sport anglers are supposed to "know their place" and be totally satisfied with fishing in trout ponds and leaving steelhead and saltwater fish to the "big boys". People like us are just trouble makers, don'tcha know.
