Free Drifter,
Asking Curt Kraemer to step down is rather like killing the messenger who delivers bad news. Curt is a fisheries biologist and can make recommendations, but has only limited impact on policy decisions; hardly the person to be blaming. If you wonder why the WDFW is so determined to allow the harvest of steelhead, attend a few Fish and Wildlife Commission hearings and listen to all the "sportsmen" pleading with the commissioners to "ignore the elitists and flyfishermen and think of the poor out-of-work Forks logger who just wants to take a fish home to feed his hungry family". In the words of Pogo 'Possum "We has met the enemy and he is us".
