Well when I say 'me' I also mean us!! As a Department anyway. I see a side the anglers don't get to see a lot of the time and that is a bunch of people working their heiney's off trying to make things work.

For me, who takes a lot of pride in not only the Department but also my job, it's hard not to take some of it personally when people aren't happy!! But I definitely know what you mean.

There are a lot of incredible people throughout the Department, and though they may keep low profiles, they really really really are working hard for the public. I get to see them in action, but sometimes the public doesn't.

I guess my main point was, we do care. If there are questions about management, let us know! We will do our best to answer them. And you aren't always going to be happy with those decisions, but tell us that too! Communication is VERY important on both sides (Department and public).
