Bob. I hate to say you told us so, but you did. Over a year ago, you questioned Washigntons policies on killing wild steelheads, and cited the fact that the situation for these fish would go from a catch and kill, to a total closure. You also commented that there would be no intermediate steps along the way. You were right. Don't your managers understand the potential economic value of these fish. For god sakes, people are flying to Michigan to fish the PM for steelheads and Salmon, staying in hotels, hiring guides, renting cars, buying tackle, eating in local restraunts,etc. Something is terribly wrong with this scenario.

Don't know how much I can help out here, but I would be willing to donate a two day trip over to Wisconsin with hotel, and travel from Austin Minnesota up for auction to help you raise some money. There are plenty of folks on the river, but there are plenty of fish. I know it would cost some coin to get here, but I'll do what I can. Otherwise, I'll doante some moola to your funding.

Thanks and good luck with the fight. Someone has to take up this battle before things go to hell completely.
