Neanderthal and anyone else,
As you know, issues and agendas come and go sometimes faster than we can keep track of. However there are two salmon related issues going on right now where we the sportsman have no representation and are certainly arenas where the WAA would be present. They are:

North of Falcon; this series of meetings is where the majority of our salmon returns go through the grist mill and seasons are created. I will guarantee that the tribes are there with their legal and scientific help. The commercials are there with thier legal and scientific help. And the anglers are there listening hoping to get some crumbs.

Now on to the Columbia for the Spring Chinook fishery debacle...same scenario as above...in fact this scenario is played out over and over and over again every year over different issues. I do not believe that a large "umbrella" organization can just come out and say these are the issues, it would defeat the purpose. We have formulated a mission statement if you will.

An Alliance formed to promote and enhance the health and awareness of all fish related resources through an informative yet common sense political, legal and scientific presence.

Keep the posts and emails coming!
