I have read about your conservation efforts with much interest over the last year. Washington state appears no different than California - it is government for sale. Per FishNPhysician's thread about economic impact of sporties in your state versus commercial, the only difference I see is that commercial lobbies government officials. I do not know about CCA, but maybe through "contributions" to state officials, sporties can buy back their rights. This is not a political party rant either, both sides take money (or are they really just the same side?). I still have hope for your state, ours was wasted almost a century ago, but hey, we have the largest irrigation system in the history of the world!

Happy trails, Mike
