If the fishing is so bad here, and folks feel that they aren't getting out of it what they put in they why keep buying licenses?

Want fish Buoy 10 or much of C? Buy and Oregon non-resident. Go fish BC or AK. We should spend our money where the results are commensurate with what we put into it.

Last year I bought a hunting license and tags for deer and NR fishing in Wyoming and Yellowstone where the fishing was just fine.

We need to think this through. Is the fishing worth it? Is it worthwhile to spend my time on advisory groups and such if I get treated like the Willapa (or crab folks in the past) were?

As long as we play along, they won't change.
