The only agenda is to be proactive for wild steelhead and preserve angling opportunity for the "deemed healthy" streams before they fall victim to the trends of other rivers in the state. There is still hatchery fish to harvest! Also the two year moratorium will give time and opportunity to come up with improved steelhead management plans.

Double Haul, I was hopin' you was gonna be sayin' that we need more flyflingin' only spots. I was gonna challenge ya to a fight. Instead you had to go and be reasonable. Whattayasay we outlaw spey rods on any river that begins with "S"... I guess then I'd have Homer and Sinktip after me...I could take either one of 'em Later... Todd

Originally posted by DJFISHS2XS: one of my co workers (a non fishermen)pointed out that sparkys fight ,resolve and ambition to stand up to what he thinks is right, reminds him of my passion and love of fishing. (gave me something to think about) So even though we disagree (you big fly weenie) dont change a bit the sport grows on passion. You make a great point...we are all passionate about the sport and the fish. The sport and the fish are important to each and every one of us but in many many different ways. I hate to say it but I think the bickering that takes place is inevitable because of this. ...if only we could put our differances aside and put the fish first. But then again, like I just said, the fish are important to us in different ways... What are we to do???

Originally posted by Dave Vedder: ... no elite fly fishers allowed, unless they can chew tobacco, cuss like a logger, and ... If I'm lucky enough to EVER become an "elite" fly fisherman - hope I don't loose my Chimacum upbringing! Isn't that what distinguishes real NW fishermen from Eastcoasters? ... Real Fly FisherMEN, who cuss when it's appropriate, chew tobacco on on the water, and use spell check before posting. - If Fly fishing in romeo's and a hand-me-down filson offends, maybe consider moving. (Not you Dave ... I took the liberty of changing effete to elite, if I'm wrong, this post really looses it's puch) Seriously, I can't see how a different way to catch fish can be bad! (I'm just learning) I encourage other gear fishemen to give fly fishing a try. I think most people just don't like to endure the learning curve and expense of a new sport. Don't know that I'll forgo one for the other though. And Todd: I agree Posers are irritating anywhere: @ Tower Records, on the trail/campground, on the river, ski slopes, and so on, and so on.

I would think some fishing is better than none, but I am probably wrong (again). . I would like to re-phrase that so it more accuratley reflects what I think you're really saying. "I would think fishing for some is better than none" NOT!!

I my self like the Idea of fly fishing only waters especially if they C&R. I mean were in this state can you catch trophy size trout. The pressure on lakes and ponds that get stocked is just totally outrageous. I went to Blackmans Pond in Snohomish last week and there was like 50 boats, tubes, pontoon rafts out there and the docks were just literally covered with people. I said I am not going to fish that went to Pass Lake on 20 and ther was only like ten people out there it was great. Caught some very nice rainbows about 18 to 22 inchs and some pretty scrappy cutthroat. I wasnt disappointed I had to put them back Fishing doesnt always mean keep the fish to eat if you enjoy then practice catch and release.

Try reading the posts before that, and note the civilized tone. Try it ....you'll like it. . So am I uncivilized because I eat fish, or becase I dont agree with you? I just want to get it right, so I know how to respond.

A statewide mandatory wild steelhead CnR policy will definalty give some people more room to fish stlhd_dreaming. It is nice having some selected waters set aside for that purpose, I also enjoy the solitude that it creates.....
