I too saw the show, and was disappointed to see how fish were handled that were returned to the river. I expect that hooks and horns will learn from their experiences and improve as time goes on. I know that I do, and call me crazy, but I allow others the same chance.
To use that as an opportunity to call out the tribe?
Really??
Ok, live and let live I suppose....I give you the benefit of the doubt about your accusations, I have no other info on the subject.
Whether we like it or not, Grays Harbor is the mecca for quality salmon and steelhead fishing opportunities, and I now hike miles each year to avoid combat fishing.
For the past 4 years, I have lobbied our legislators for more 'fish for all' in the harbor, showing them how much is would cost to restore the cuts to programs that we had in 2009, and how much $$$$ USED to come into the harbor and the local economy. I have had a little success, and will keep trying. We could have more success, if more people took time to work for the FUTURE of G.H. fishing, not just catching fish today.
More people like Dave H. Francis, etc.
It doesn't take a lot of intelligence or 'connections', if it did, I could not do it.
Our legislators need to know what is going on out here and if you don't tell them your concerns, how are they supposed to know?
But, I'm sorry, you were sitting on your butt, bitching, and I interrupted you.
In closing, Hooks and Horns is trying to accomplish something good, for ALL of us, I wish them the best.
p.s. the leg has a 1-800 number, you can dial it and let your voice be heard without getting off your a**
