Sorry. But I'm that passionate on this issue. Closing the Elwa I can live with, but do not close Sutherland.


I appreciate passion, but your kind of passion simply causes whatever sympathy there might have been for your cause to evaporate. As a property owner you do not own the fishery; you are not entitled to the fishery. You have waterfront property and maybe a nice view. But the water and the fish in it are public resources, not the private property of the lakeside property owners. Your attitude will only serve to work against your interest, but hey, that's your problem.

You could always sell your property, move!!!!!! I think not, you're blowing smoke......

I've watched this Elwha bit since the late 60's......time to move on.....40+ years was more than enough time for any studies to be made....get the dams torn down.......put a 5 year "nobody fish that area", move on in favor of the fish. If you can't stand the "no fishing bit", I suggest you lease your house to one of the millions of people that would just love to be lakeside and enjoy the beauty of that part of Washington State.

That's my take on this whole thing!!!!!!!!!!
