His first order of business seems to be contacting each of us WDFW advisors in the area & wanting a personal meeting with each to get to know us & where/how we fish the area.

I told him to bring a large notebook as I have a wish list & a gripe list, his comment was "fine, we can get to that later, I but the first order of business is to get to know you all first".

As Dave said, I have known him for years through the NOF process of Puget Sound. Your first impression of him is just a country boy, don't let that fool you. I believe at least he will not lie to us.

And yes he fishes.
