to steelhead addict, My comments concerning the hound hunting issue were used to highlight what can happen. I commend you for your opinon on that issue and on traps and poisons. Even though I don't agree with on the hound issue I do on the trapping issue. But the real issue is fish!!! I was at the ship cannal locks in Seattle when P.A.W.S. and other animial rights folks were protesting the sea lion issue. I was on the other side saying something had to be done. The one thing that I've noticed is the lip service that P.A.W.S. and P.E.T.A. give on fish issues but have never seen them organize a stream restoration or riparian zone tree planting project. We first of all must agree to disagree and then get on with the matter at hand. We need to come up with solutions. By the way I too hunt, with a bow & have fished with a fly rod for more than 40 years.
