For those of you that are actively fighting the government on different fishing issues I say, Thank you! I am also fighting for a better allocation of our natual resources. We may never see the glory days of long ago but things can sure be a lot better. However, for those of you that love to bitch about the Indians - their gill nets, taking more than there share all while launching their boats on ramps that our tax dollars built (but we can not use); what have you done to help turn the tide? What really makes me angry about this topic is everybody loves to bitch and carry on about how unfair everything is but when a great opportunity comes like this last Saturday virtually no one shows up. People say "well, there is nothing that can be done about it." That is a weak excuse for not getting off your #@!@ and doing something about it. The choice is
yours either fight and do something about it or in a few years we can all sit back and compalin about not being able to fish at all. For those of you who do not agree and say there will always be fishing I think you are dead wrong! My sisters fiance is a lobbiest in Washington D.C. for guess what the Power companies. the same power companies who dams people want breached. Well a little insider tip is that the environmentalist say it is for the fish however, let me say this, it is so we can all LOOK at them in their orignal environment. That means no catch and kill, catch and release, nothing! So, I have two challenges for you #1 don't bitch about something unless you have a comment for correcting the issue and #2 make a difference in the town you live in.

One more thing, unless we all do something soon every fish you catch is one step closer to the end of fishing as we know it. Just think about that the next time you bring that salmon or ironhead into your boat, I know I do.
