A "P.S." to my first post...

The money to pay for this "experiment" on the Columbia River is not coming from the commercial sector...it's coming from YOU, THE SPORTSMEN who buy the new Columbia River surcharge license to fish there, it's coming out of Mitchell Act Funds that I as a fishing tackle manufacturer/retailer pay into and that money pays for YOUR hatchery fish on the Columbia River in part, and it comes from BPA funds that are currently being used for habitat and dam operations modifications, the two things that would actually help fish the most on the Columbia.

So...not only is this whole shebang not good for fish, and bad for fishing...it's also taking money away from YOU, away from things that will actually help fish and/or fishing.

Excellent idea.

All to put a few thousand more fish in the boxes of non-treaty commercial fishers, not exactly a fish or fishing friendly proposal, to say the least.

Fish on...
