I am beyond upset about it. I am literally losing sleep. I keep telling my wife I need to find another hobby...but it's just a joke. I've been obsessed with fishing since I was a kid. There's nothing else in this world that's going to replace it.

I do fish for fish other than salmon. I do bottomfish. I also like fishing for bass and even trout. When I'm doing those I certainly enjoy them...but the truth is I am doing it because I can't go salmon fishing that day.

I've actually thought about moving, but I really love where I live. When I'm allowed to fish, there's actually no place in the world I'd rather be.

(side note - of course I'm willing to lay off PS salmon to let them recover. I just can't freakin deal with the fact that the tribes won't)

The question is - what to do?

Discuss online to stay up to date-check
Write emails and letters-check
Try to get others to do the same-check
Participate in PSA and CCA-check
Protest/rally in person - check

What else? I am willing to do whatever.
