i dont veiw the commercials going to a new selective method as a victory for sportfishing, can you explain why you do ?


Ya' know, if these two sides of us would unite, and recruit even more members, we could steer CCA in the direction that serves recreational fishing best, and CHANGE the state law that gives all this deference to commercial fishing. We don't need ANY non-treaty commercial fishing of spring chinook. We already have a treaty fishery on them that catches 13 of the 15% ESA impact that is presently allowed. We ought to be supporting extinction of LCR commercial fishing instead of re-igniting this counter-productive debate between recreational salmon anglers every few weeks.
