That's the management plan that has been used up until now. You know, the one that has been a miserable failure? Yeah, that's the one.

Excuse the F out of me for being gone a weekend. I'll email you next time I'm going out of town so you don't worry. These issues have been beaten on for months now and it's always the same $hit. I get a little tired of seeing the same questions and accusations come up, get answered, then get asked again. I swear, you and CFM need to start a bowling team together.

Cupo,

You've got a lot of nerve.

Is it, you're just tired of being proven wrong? You and the rest of the guys have been crowing your crap for months now. And it's not looking good for you. Grow some gnads and admit you're wrong. No. You'd rather Attack CFM, who cannot respond to you. Because he was right, and wasnt afraid to say it. He's banned from here, which erks my gerkin bro. He has more to add than you could ever, and we cant hear him. But we have to listen to you? Gimme a break.

It takes one heck of a wennie to attack someone who cant respond. Way to go!

todd, here is a copy of the news release from the state, where does it say you cant harvest wild steelhead ?

Wild steelhead retention moratorium
will take effect May 1 statewide

OLYMPIA -The effective date for a recently adopted statewide moratorium on wild steelhead retention will be May 1, consistent with the start of the next fishing season, the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) announced today.

The two-year moratorium, adopted by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission during a Feb. 6 meeting, originally was to take effect April 1. The moratorium - which is scheduled to run for two years - requires anglers to release any steelhead that is not marked as a hatchery fish by a missing adipose or ventral fin and a healed scar.

"On review, the timeline for implementing permanent fishing rules of this complexity made it impossible to have the moratorium in place by April 1," said Larry Peck, WDFW deputy director. "This was an administrative decision by the director's office, which will make the rule change consistent with the beginning of the annual steelhead management cycle."

Shifting the date to May 1 also allows additional time to get word of the moratorium out to steelhead anglers and other stakeholders, Peck said.

Biologists with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife stressed that no significant impact to wild steelhead would result from continuing with current regulations on those rivers currently open to retention of wild steelhead.

Wild steelhead retention already had been permanently banned in much of the state, but has been allowed on several Olympic Peninsula river systems where stocks are relatively strong.

"We are confident that the decision to move the effective date of the moratorium will have no significant impact on the resource, but will provide for better notice to anglers who fish for steelhead in the affected rivers," Peck said.

You certainly got that right boater.

Just don't "retain" any wild steelhead...
Constipation can ruin your appetite.

That is WEAK attacking CFM when he cant defend himself here...

One thing CFM didn't do was ask the same old questions. He always found a different angle to attack an idea with. Unfortunately, his arguments this time hit a little too close to home and he was booted. Since that time I have seen a half a dozen or so people get WAY more personal and abusive to others than he did on this topic. I didn't always agree with him, but he was interesting.... and could hold his own in a debate.

I just wanted to point out that that was pointed at DJFISHS2XS not written by me...I like and respected CFM and his sometimes different viewpoint......DJ
