Jason,

There are indeed Columbia River and Puget Sound salmon caught in both B.C. and Alaska...but if you believe that it's causing the lack of recovery in Washington State, then do yourself a favor and take a break from logic and facts...

It's the same type of emotional, not necessarily accurate type of information that Gary uses in his CCA presentations every week...it sounds devestating if you don't bother checking the facts, and it sounds pretty weak if you do...

At the first of the several CCA meetings I went to to hear Gary talk, I challenged him on his imaginary numbers and scenarios, and he had absolutely nothing whatsoever to say about it...but he didn't need to, because the rest of the sportfishermen there got all up in arms for him...

"How can you question what we really want to hear? It's all the nets' fault!"

This is all I'll have to say on this thread, since it's been hashed out before in the other various Rah Rah CCA threads.

Fish on...

Todd
