just calling a spade a spade. You are not a member of cca louisiana.
You assume the site is the only source of information to the members.

Musta been MIA when I was involved in the Bradwood fight, nothing like watching a battery of now stiffed attorneys tell the judge that this stuff DEQ/NMFS wants isn't important because FERC approved this project and there a more important goverment agency.

pics or didn't happen.

Ask CCA for theres, Oh Wait they missed that one too! To busy telling there members how great it was going to be.

SBD STICK IT, U R BORING ME

I don't even want to know. I don't want to know if the judge ever ate a salmon. The fish won. Don't resusitate the horse.

Lets make it interesting, have Debbie Downer wear an A board on his back in the industrial district.

"I love screwing the pipe fitters out of work"

Liz at NSIA wants to preserve her job at all costs. She has NO INTEREST in progress for the mainstem CR beucase that single issue keeps the NSIA funded and her paid..

Liz picked the un-movable object .. DAMS as the main focus for the NSIA... part of that was the infection of Buzz ramsey - who dreams of the falls coming back to the CR - part was the realization that A win on the CR gill net issue woudl limit the membership's enthuasim for the NSIA. A goal that can never be reached.. dam breaching on the CR.. will ensure a endless funding stream.

Regardless of what you think about the CCA's attempt.. and i agree its odd.. the NSIA is just attempting to preserve their cash cow (the continuation of nets in the CR) so the NSIA will never endorse anything that pushes the ball closer. So when critizing the NSIA keep that in mind

my proof : a few years back while at the Bouy-10 derby ( i was working the event for the NSIA) I was talking with Liz and the just removed ODFW head about commerical's in the CR. After several attempts to move me out of the room, Liz said "josh the NSIA is never been about nor will ever be about ending commerical fishing of anykind... so shut up about the dam nets" they both walked off after that.

i have witnesses to that conversation too..

oh yea i quit the NSIA right then..

She's right, it is about the dams.
Scientific facts show that CR dams kill > 80% of the total salmon and steelhead potential populations.

Great taste Less filling!

Dams! Nets! Cows!

Scientists Join Forces with Industry Association to Protect Fishery Resources


Oregon City, OR – Retired scientists, Dr. Douglas DeHart and Dan Diggs have been appointed to the Science and Policy Board for the Northwest Sportfishing Industry Association (NSIA), bringing the number of science professionals to six. The newly expanded advisory board lends accumulative career experience of over 230 years in natural resource and fishery management expertise to NSIA. The Science and Policy Board advises the Board, staff and Government Affairs directors on the scientific and regulatory management implications prior to the development of industry policy positions. NSIA science advisors are unpaid volunteers.

Dan Diggs joins NSIA after a 35-year career at US Fish and Wildlife Service, retiring as the Fisheries Program Assistant Regional Director responsible for all aspects of Fisheries Program in Pacific Region. Of great value to NSIA is his most recent focus on hatchery reform efforts throughout the northwest, Columbia River Basin endangered species adjudication issues, development of National Fish Habitat initiatives in the northwest, U.S. vs. Oregon policy issues, and as the FWS representative to the Columbia Basin Federal Caucus. Mr. Digg’s latest honor was the February 2010 Oregon Chapter of American Fisheries Society’s Award of Merit for career long advancement of the principles of science in managing fisheries programs. Dan is married, an avid angler and conservationist, with two sons and three grandchildren.

Dr. Douglas DeHart is a familiar face in Oregon natural resource management with 35 years of state and federal fishery agency experience, much of that in the Columbia Basin. Dr. DeHart received his B.S. in Biology from Harvard University, M.S. in Fisheries from Oregon State University, and Ph.D. in Fisheries from the University of Washington. His expertise spans fishery research, hatchery operations and reforms, and habitat restoration programs. Career positions have included fishery research coordinator for the Corps of Engineers Portland, Bioengineering Chief for National Marine Fisheries Service, Chief of Fisheries for Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and senior fishery biologist at the US Fish and Wildlife Service. He has special expertise in the design, operation, and evaluation of fish passage and screening facilities and was recently appointed by the Director to the Fish Screening Task Force for Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Doug is an avid boater, has two grown sons, and maintains a small consulting firm in Oregon City.

Chair and coordinator of NSIA’s Science and Policy Board, Rod Sando welcomed the two new partners. “It is a pleasure to apply our collective experience and knowledge to an organization at the forefront of fishery management issues in the northwest. We welcome these extremely competent people to the science board. This greatly strengthens the qualifications on the NSIA bench, enabling us to be even more effective in the future.” said Sando.

Hey Doc check this out, I realize it's a bit dated, but I can assure you nothing much has changed with respect to fish habitat derogation on the CR.

i agree.

Hey LB, Lay off the cry button on the other site. Jenny`s ready to throw me out of there mainly due to my responses to you and SOMEONE? whining about it every time I do. At least Liz can talk to me about these matters, you and the PETA lawyer, not so much. Bill

I haven't, but since you came here to stir the pot with false allegations, Id be more than happy to have Jenny confirm it was not me.

Your move.

heck, i always thought it was the "this post wont make any sense" button

says the guy who had to build his own site. How many different names have you had for that site?

2 or 3.

Ever consider relocating to Texas?

why ?, did you want me to haul some money down there for you ?
