Fishermanonabike,
Well since you won't give me an answer, I'll give you my opnion. I think you're a hypocrite. You say the environment is going to hell in a hand basket. I'll bet you drive a car, one that pollutes the very air you breath. You use paper productes, all made from trees. (oh, but you recycle) You predict that there will be no natives in ten years, but you still fish. How would you live by your beliefs if you were on an unspoiled island, You couldn't. So before you go off on someone else you better clean up your own backyard.

Forgot this little tidbit of info there is a zipper that I like to fish back home that has a broodstocking program on it and each year the number of reds they count seems to increase from the year before so there is at least one sucess full case out there but they use salmon is this one. I would like to give more details on it but being a zipper and a small one at that I dont want to pull a Dunnington :p

AuntyM,

Here's some stuff about one of the studies from a thread a couple of months ago...

There's another one, too, but I can't seem to find it right now.

Fish on...

Todd.

hey sorry about that fishcheap69, been out biking last couple days and was a little too tired to get on the net.
anywho..to your remark,the enviroment is going to hell, very slowly luckily, and not in all places but enough.
no i do not drive, i usually ride. i drive to tow my boat and for trips, once a weekend usually. yes my moniker is true, i ride to a lot of my fishing spots.
yes i continue to fish even though my beliefs sometimes count against it, but that is a acceptable cost to me(oh man ill catch [Bleeeeep!] for that one). when i do catch a nate. i use extreme care, i have and never will net a nate, i always keep them in the water and try to release in under 20 seconds. thats the best i can do. im sure my "survival" rate is better than other peoples if thats what you are getting at.
in direct responce to your question..yes i am a hypocrit, to some level, who here can say that they are not? i dont do all i can for the fish.
and yes i would give up fishing for awhile to rebuild stocks. i see no problem in that, take my rods. as long as i knew that the right things were goin to be done (by everyone:tribes,state,fishermen and women) i guess i'd just live with it. i hope that answers it, though it problablay doesnt.

dances i have to agree with you on the todd dunningham thing...man i hate that guy..did you see the reports he did on some of those hood canal streams last year...man, what an *sshole.
FISH GODS, please smite thyne todd d.

speaking of smiting people. has anyone heard of bush's recent endeavor? he is looking to lift a good portion of the red tape from the endangered species act. lifting all sorts of building and logging restrictions...this is gonna get pretty good.
