Griz- Actually there is some help from the tackle industry. Although it is self serving in that their goals & efforts have been to lobby the Fed./State Agencies to keep fishing seasons open as much as possible; so as to protect their tackle sales potential. And we should appreciate that. They are the National Sportfishing Industry Association (NSIA). I have not heard anything about their finances being put directly into fishery enhancing projects- but they may. One of the most active participants is Buzz Ramsey of Lure Jensen out of Hood River, OR.- I've got an idea; how about attaching a luxury tax on any rod or reel over $200 and on any lure priced over $5 that will go directly into fish habitat restoration & other fishery enhancing projects. Costs not to be passed on to the consumer (ya right). Now that would go over real well with the right wing. Not! - Steve
