I also received a copy of this misnamed "Concise Explanatory Statement". Reading the "testimony" was very shocking indeed. The number of people and organizations that support the INCREASING of wild steelhead limits is truly mind boggling.

I thought the most logical testimony was provided by the Olympic Peninsula Guide Association via 234 e-mails and letters.

It sounds to me like the WDFW wanted to increase license sales.

Clearly the stance of a majority of those in favor of increased limits is "if we don't get 'em, the Indians will". Very scary.

How can this state's fish manangers compare our quality of fishing to that of BC's and not want to gravitate towards their policies? We have the same resources.

Not very shocked to see the mayor of Forks supports increased limits.

One more thing, what is the Gibbon's study?
