the current mindset to me anyway at the wdfw is to do everything we can so they dont lose hatchery funding, turn every fishery in the state to a selective fishery because "the hsrg said so" and actually believe that the hsrg recommendations can lead to recovery, sounds like you guys are the same already.

Start your own group. You CF and Fossil.

read this, how can it lead to recovery ?

On another note, didn't they put a wier in the lower Grays river to stop all the Deep River gillnet hatchery fish from returning to the Grays and intermingling with the Grays River Stock?

What a wonderful river that has been given more and more restrictions every year..... We used to have a blast fishing that river for the kings/coho and chum and winter steelhead.... Now it's so limited with it's fisheries.... Heck I was down there 3 years ago and found a gillnet on the shoreline....

Plus it get's stray spring chinook from the Deep River program as well....

Start your own group. You seem to know more than anyone from the HSRG.

i dont know more than anyone about them but i do know more about them than you since i read them and you dont

ya, i think within the last year or two

LB - No, I have not joined CCA. Not intending too unless they actually get past the banquet stage, and do something of significance. So far, nothing is different from the first year.

I'm in

Ya, I remember that money thing, really bugged you. They hold banquets every year. They have five chapters in one state that raises more than a quarter million in one night. That means lots of donations and lots of buyers. They also passed the 2 million dollar mark for college scholarships in marine and fisheries majors.

A lot of people are doing the heavy lifting. Have fun fishing.

BTW you still have a commission. Koenigs is gone. Want to run for Jacobsons seat?

North Snohomish County VP here.

yup

I joined last year thru my brother-in law(kitsap chapter), and since I live in Bham something got lost in the shuffle....I've contacted them, and have been meaning to go to a local meeting to "re-join", but haven't. So Yes....Tom

Its quicker and easier to join online, as long as you know your PC is virus free.

I suppose you could also contact the vancouver office, but unless something changed recently, it gets mailed down to Texas. Doesnt hurt to call them.

If the chapter doesnt have receipts get two people to scratch something out. Cash can get lost or forgotten. They Probably.. arent set up for credit cards. Online is....

Canyon Man recruited me in.
