just give up steelheading. [/quote]

I did a couple of years ago. Ya I miss is, but for me it was the right thing to do. [/quote]

Seriously? I could never do it. Call me selfish. I love fishing too much. It is essential for my spirit. Same thing with music. I do what I can to give back to the resource. Where do you draw the line? I am not gonna berate you for your decision not to fish. I just cant see doing it. The fish stocks will not magically recover just because I decide to quit fishing. My advice is to get involved,join an organization,and do habitat restoration,try and make a difference. [/quote]

I didn't say I gave up fishing, I've stopped steelheading. And I said nothing about what I am doing to make a difference. I agree getting involved is more effective than pissing and moaning on the internet.
