Skookum, I sure don't think you're a WDFW shill and I admire your ability to keep a level head in this discussion. I am extremely frustrated and disgusted by the situation and by what I see as WDFW's unwillingness to admit their contribution to this problem. I don't think that's just a matter of finger pointing, either. A restoration plan that doesn't at least adknowledge all causes of mortality is incomplete.
I just hope that oly pen fish managers are ready for the increased pressure their fish populations will face this year!
