Something,

Todd belongs to the WSC. Considering how much time he spends harrassing wild steelhead, its probably another allocation group. The mission statement isnt written exactly the same, but the basic elements of the problem and cause and effect match up with CCA. Probably not so much with Trout unlimited, which he use to be a member of, or may currently be. TU was most successful in telling its members they werent going to do what the members wanted. Up pops PSA. I guess the affiliation was too much for Todd. According to TR, he left PSA.

For the most part, most of these groups have done a terrible job, recruiting and raising enough money to hire the heavy hitters and become power players. Too many groups, to many objectives and pet projects. You wont hear Todd, selling WSC. Its all about shutting down the other salesman.

Its really no different than religion or soft drinks. Coca Cola owns a bunch of fizzle drinks and several water drink companies. Together with Pepsi and others, they want to cover the globe. But fish groups arent into that. So when a stranger comes to town, its a turf war. Its either that or because Todd is bored. Ive never seen another WSC leader take on CCA the way Todd does. In fact, I think they sent an auction item to a recent cca banquet. BTW Thanks.

I dont speak for cca and Im not an officer, I saw the achievements and put my chips on the table. If that threatens some people, too bad. You havent got enough money or members, to get this done by yourselves. drink sugar free cca.

The Wild Steelhead Coalition Mission Statement

The Wild Steelhead Coalition (WSC) is an organization dedicated to increasing the return of wild steelhead to the waters and rivers of the Pacific Northwest.

Beliefs of the WSC

Wild steelhead are an important legacy to the Pacific Northwest and have undeniably been reduced to a fraction of their once historical capacity.
Over harvest, habitat degradation, poor hatchery practices, construction of impassable barriers to migration, and misguided management strategies have all contributed significantly to the decline, and in some cases extinction, of wild fish runs.
Without a change in policies and attitudes, these same factors will continue to reduce and extirpate wild steelhead.
