Sadly enough, the reason that no lawyer has filed a suit on behalf of sportfishers is that not enough fishers can bring themselves to agree to disagree on the massive numbers of issues but at least agree that we need a fair shake when it comes to allocation issues. The sportfishers of this state couldn't agree to support I696 because it didn't deal with the tribes. You can't get but a handful of fishers together to have a protest. Couldn't get more than a couple hundred to call/write letters to save Reiter Ponds. I made a post a couple of weeks ago reference us being solitary creatures and not being able to affect change unless we can come together-it got a whole 2 responses. What does that tell you? Apathy has and will continue to be our downfall. Wake up and smell the coffee folks. There are approx 1,500 commercial salmon fishers and 300,000+ sport salmon fishers in this state and we get our butts kicked everytime. I believe Jim Bain was behind the WAA and it has fallen apart due to apathy. Unless we collectively get off our butts and unite we will never be listened to or respected by the state and especially the courts. WE ARE NOT A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH! Not trying to anger anyone. Just expressing my opinion. By the way, how many of you are actively involved in restoration efforts in your county of residence?
