Expecting things not to change, given the growth of the Puget sound basin, seems foolish to me.

Another thing that seems foolish is tagging someone as elite...as long as there's been fishing, there has been someone who has an issue with anothers, catch, time, or tactics when it comes to his fishing.

While we are talking about missing points....the term elite is rendered meaningless when it gets used and abused like it does on this board, and certainly doesn't help the sportfishing community as a whole.

Get the point yet ?



We all as sportsmen can agree that if we kill off sportfishing opportunity in Puget Sound (and the writing is on the wall, if you can't catch fish that is called NO OPPORTUNITY), then only those with the means to pay to fish the remaining world-class fisheries will see great steelhead fishing. If there is no fishing locally, mine will be the final generation of steelhead fishermen in Puget Sound.
