Your skepticism is understood and warranted, but I must ask you to think outside the lines here. The lines that we have lived in for so long haven't worked...if you think they have then our conversation ends here. I will not take on an issue, we do have an agenda and that is to build for the first time in this state a unified force that Bobs C&R people can use when necessary and if it is in line with scientific and legal requirements. The Wildcatters can also use the WAA if what they are needing falls in line with scientific and legal requirements. In order for the WAA to work the old hatchets must be buried, the warmwater people have concerns and will be able to use the WAA, the flyfishers...etc...all. Our agenda if you will is representation specific where the smaller needs and concerns can be represented. I do not know how many letters were written regarding Bobs situation, but I will guarantee that it didn't get the attention of any politicians that weren't already somewhat interested, no offense Bob, but big numbers is what is needed. Gentleman I appreciate your ideas, cander and opinions, and I understand that it is hard to move out of a box that we are used to...so I hope that you can understand that WAA is not designed to be issue specific it is designed to be fish specific.

Thanks for responses and keep them coming it can only make all of us better.

Thanks,

Jim
