Absolutely welcome. I know that you also participate in the process of WDFW rulemaking by attending meetings, so I appreciate you doing your part on a regular basis. Those who don't ever participate in the process ring sort of hollow when they complain.

It is good to have a discussion where all sides of the issue are looked at, not just from "our side" as sportsfishermen. I just wish we could do something about the harvesting wall in AK and Canada that salmon have to go just to get to Washington. That would have the biggest impact on salmon returns, but then that is another issue that is out of our ability to control.
