The CCA is supposedly a sportsmans group. My understanding in the very beginning when I first heard about it was it was going to be a group that was going head on with the gillnetters. They were going to get more hatchery fish for the sportsman. They were going to stop the gillnetters from "mopping up" runs of fish...

Quite the contrary really. Seems as if CCA is headed down a path to give the commercials more hatchery fish resulting in less for the sportsman in the CR... Don't you realize that people will walk away from the group when they realize they're being screwed?

I questioned what CCA was doing with the hatcheries seeing how your group supposedly supports them...

You stated CCA supported the following, Seen here:
Hatchery Funding and Reform
Hundreds of hatcheries throughout Washington play a vital role in salmon and steelhead conservation and recovery while also creating sustainable fishing opportunities. Hatchery review efforts illustrate the need for better management of state, federal and tribal hatchery and harvest programs to fulfill these important roles. Unfortunately, many hatcheries lack the funding needed to upgrade these facilities and agencies have not implemented key broodstock management reforms. CCA Washington supports science-based efforts to reform hatchery operations and urges the federal and state agencies to provide the funding and leadership needed to promptly implement these reforms.

Although with your answer I didn't see much merit or what CCA really stands for with hatchery funding and reform...

Hmmm...
