No knock considered, I have been working my rear off the last 8 years with Todd and other individuals that have proven to me how dedicated they are to create change for wild steelhead. And we have all heard many nay sayers from day one and many critics, but the bottom line is we have been there and in my honest opinion we have been creating positive change for the plight of wild steelhead. The organization maybe not huge, but our resolve is.

I am interested in what happens with the CCA, but what I have come to realize is that there are two general directions/philosphies of organizations:
1. Work to put the fish first and by their abundance will create your opportunity
2. Work for your opportunity/share first and then the fish.
Too me the jury is still out regarding where the CCA stands, I can't afford to get involved because of my investment the WSC. I wish the CCA luck and hope they take direction number 1.

I sincerely invite the CCA leadership's participation in the Steelhead Summit Alliance, (SSA), where they will learn and increase their education in steelhead science and issues and be a truly productive conservation group, or part of a true coalition of groups if you will, for stronger voice for steelhead in the Northwest.
