Folks-

I don't see the reasoning behind bashing any organization who's intent is to help fish, and attempt to organize the angling community as a whole behind fisheries conservation.

You may not like who started it.

You may not like how the organization kicked off.

Perhaps you don't like the communication and organizational problems that have plagued the org. from time to time either.

But realize, this is a grass roots effort. Essentially an all volunteer organization. Every single successful grass roots organization that ever did anything worthwhile ran over bumps in the road achieving their goals.

Criticizing your angling peers efforts or shortcomings is futile and a waste of time. If you haven't received anything from the CCA, did you take 1 minute to send the office an email to inquire about your membership. Have you been to your local chapter meeting and let the secretary know?
If not, shut the hell up.



You may not agree with the stance the CCA takes on some issues, or what some members say about the CCA, but I bet you likely agree with each of their OFFICIAL positional statements. Look em up.

I myself became heavily involved in my local chapter in it's first 1 1/2 years, until I had some issues with how the chapter was being ran. I didn't care for the lack of communication, organization, etc. and frankly didn't have enough time to deal with it. Now I do.I'm going to do something about fixing it instead of complaining about it.


It takes a COMMITTED group of MOTIVATED people with the same beliefs to achieve something big. See you guys at Sno-King soon.
