Jackiepoo, I agree.
Steelspanker, my son once asked my why people are stereotyped. I said it's unfortunate but the reason is that the MAJORITY of those stereotyped act in a certain way most of or all of the time. (Like steelheaders!) I would love to be sympathetic but the pattern NEVER changes. Money (lots of money), land and sovereignty have done nothing to help change the pattern or diminish the hate they feel toward us. Over the last 52 years that I’ve fished this state I have watched the lack of progress and the total disregard of any and all rules. The dead and wasted fish, the littering of tribal and public lands, the illegal netting and so much more that makes it really hard to be sympathetic. If it was about just a few ruining it for the rest of them I wouldn’t be writing this but if you’ve done the homework and seen what I’ve seen it would be hard to argue the subject. I don’t hate them I just find it hard to listen to them complain when they do nothing to better their cause and blame us for all of their problems.
