http://www.piscatorialpursuits.com/forum...html#Post891851The thread is on page 2. Yes cabelas was listed. They likely didn't pay attention to the lawsuits, but they won't be getting any of my business as long as they support wfc.

In Oregon, the Three Rivers Sportsman Alliance called all of the supporters of the native fish society. Another group that likes to sue and shut down hatcheries. It was said by calling and writing to their supporters, they cut their income by 30%.
I don't know how true that is. I do know Lamiglass was a supporter until they learned just who they were supporting. I would bet most of these supporters don't realize who or what they are supporting. They just give them a gift as they get requests from lots of groups. Not realizing they are cutting their market.

Most of those supporters have no idea of the group's interests? Of course some of their interests do align. I think it's too complex a web to consider boycotting some of the companies. For example: http://www.stscommunity.com/vbulletin/sh...ish-Conservancy

I will be very interested to see how many of these supporters jump ship. Hopefully many of them will. I will certainly be contacting them and telling them why I won't be buying from them anymore.
It makes much more sense for many of these businesses to support the CCA. Or, increase their support of the CCA instead of supporting the WFC.

One of the things the Poker Players Alliance does is have members send emails and tweets to these type of people (PPA targets legislators). Is someone here sharp enough to right (see, obviously I am not with that typo ) a letter that could be sent to the above? What would you need? The Letter Email address Tweet address Facebook pages Here is a link to the PPA system so that you might see what I am talking about ...http://capwiz.com/pokerplayersalliance/home/

Wasn't Ray's on some other hit list by some of this boards members for serving Wild Steelhead? If you want to pull out a 45 and shoot your dicks off just go after them now, they just checkmated you.

What we need in Washington is someone to organize the tribal, sports and commercial fishing response to this. It can't be anyone new. It has to be an already established group with a track record.

Declining sales always does the trick. Always. Vote with your wallet. Even without willingly boycotting sponsors, many innocent bystander businesses will suffer economically or close all together. Less Gear, Tackle, Gas, Food, Motels, Licenses, Boats, Trucks, Motors and so on down the line...sad and totally unnecessary.

Cabelas won't even notice. But the corner store which sells gas, bait, munchies, coffee and beer to fisherman in the mornings will definitely get hurt.

You can make Cabelas notice if you really, really want to. Organize.
100 steelhead fisherman peacefully asking for the Tulalip and Lacey store managers all at once would certainly put it on their corporate radar.
Call a network. Get the story out there. Write a scathing letter to every sponsor. There's lots of ways to get things done. It all depends on your passion and commitment to the cause at hand, whatever that may be.

Simply boycotting without telling the business that you are and why is foolish and won't do any good. If you want to modify their behavior, educate them and give them a chance to respond. Then if they don't once they understand the issue put the screws to them with a full-on boycott.

I don't think it needs to become a boycott, too much of the message gets lost as they will only interview the angry over the top person. All it takes is some letters to all the supporters and maybe a few news outlets. I think some of the supporters would drop out just because they had no idea what wfc was really up to.

Not anymore They already got together in Oregon and it is now expanding to WA and likely beyond. We need to put an end to this present situation and then we can go back to arguing amongst ourselves as usual. This and the other enviro lawsuits are doing what has never been done. Uniting the sports, commercials and tribes in a common cause.
Thank you wfc for not thinking this all the way thru.

I don't know how many showed up. There was no real followup.
The above link is correct. But I think it may involve more than just Three Rivers. They may only be the catalyst but I really don't know yet. I am going to get involved regardless. I did learn some other people are putting some things together but how do you judge any effort until you see it? There is a lot we can do to make each other miserable, and there is a lot we can do if everyone would set aside differences and work together. The bottom line is we all want to restore our steelhead and salmon runs as much as can be done with the habitat we have to work with. But we differ on how to go about it, and how to provide opportunity to keep all the stakeholders involved.

Thanks for taking the time to post the links. The day the commercial, sports and tribal sectors actually get together and accomplish something will be a sight to behold. I doubt chambers creek hatchery steelhead will be the catalyst. I also disagree with attacking the enviros as most of the problem with andromonous fish is destruction of habitat but I don't have the time or inclination to get into that beaten dead horse here. Frankly, I'm surprised at all the huffing and puffing about Chambers Creek hatchery steelhead here after reading all the badmouthing they get over the years. "Hatchery turds" that cost way more than they are worth to produce with dismal returns that support tribal netting in the rivers are the complaints I hear. Personally they are on my to do list right below humpies and there are plenty of them around here.
