Fishing Junkie,
since you seem to have a very strong opinion about this. Should I expect you to be at the meeting? There are alot of people that like to voice their opinions on here, but never in person. I don't think you are one of them though. All I am doing with this meeting is to get somewhere other than the bitch fest that has been going on here. We are not trying to look down on sledders, we are trying to compromise things in a mature manner. I don't want this to start a huge fight at my high school. Hell if we get a small turnout, we can bs about fishing in general. Jim Bain, I know you are really really busy with WAA, but can you try to make an apperence at this meeting? I know you have talked with a few people about this before and you have alot more insight than I do, being only 17 years old. I am not the best speaker by all means, but I think I can get the job done. If anyone has any suggestions or comments, email me or post it on here. Maybe we can come up with some food or drinks or something to snack on during our conversation. It will be interesting who shows up and who doesn't. I am curious to see how many guides that guide on that river will show. Fishin Junkie, you are correct, I stayed off of the Nooch last summer, due to the crowds, alot of people think they own the river and or fish! I have been told countless times that I am fishing someone elses water and I am taking their fish, and these guys are serious! I don't get it... My parents pay taxes on that river just the same that they do. I pay the same license fee's they do to pay for these fish. When it comes time for broodstocking, I am always there to lend a hand and to do my part. I think the nooch is just becoming Cowlitz junior. let me know what everyone has to say. I expect to see everyone at the meeting that contributed to the bitch post about the nooch...

Thanks,
Andy Matthews
