"Environmentalist" appears to be an epithet to some people on this board. I seems to me that environmentalists want to see free flowing rivers that aren't de-watered for irrigation. Gotta problem with that? I don't think the fish would. Environmentalists want to see trees left along the rivers and tributaries to preserve a cooler, cleaner habitat. Gotta problem with that? Environmentalists want to see more wild fish in our rivers and I think we could all get behind that. A little thought should surely make it obvious that the fisherman has more in common with the environmental movement than not.
