WDF&W lied? Whoa now if SG is and employee you should not ask him to answer that question. It is not correct or fair to do so. An employee is required to follow the directives of his superiors unless it is illegal or unethical just as I was in my job. If an employee his frankness on this BB should be admired, the guy has balls, because in the past the label of disruptive personality has been applied to those who are frank about issues if you rock the boat.

I set through a 45 min presentation by the director years ago outlining what was to become the Wild Stock policy and how this would save the day. In his mind it would do it, the senior staffer with him in a private conversation prior had already told me what the short comings were and why it would fail. Who lied? Nobody truth as to fish is often a matter of perspective driven by the restraints of politics, funding, and philosophical veiws.

It ain't black and white with fish. Hell I would take shades of gray.
