The only thing I can do is come to the most complete understanding possible, work with others, and do what I can. I am feeling really down about the directions of the fisheries right now but am too involved to back off and find another "pastime."

Not my happiest mood. My dark side.


I'm not rolling over.....

But face the facts, when the higher powers get involved and hatchery #'s get cut for the sake of assumed wild fish then everyone suffers. It's pretty simple, you start going gung-ho to save the wild fish by cutting hatchery fish plants and there are less hatchery fish to fish on which result in shorter seasons and less hatchery fish that return.
