Congratulations Todd for a very succinct presentation of your opinion. Good points. You are correct about PSA and WT working together on some things and working against each other on the hatchery issue. My questioning of issues was and is intended to start a good debate..which is happening here to some extent. I wish Mike from RFA would elaborate more on what he knows about WT as I have listened to him a few times recently learning more and more all the time.

AuntyM: I like you assessment of 4Salt....he is kind of like the hall monitor. Arms folded...allknowing smirk...as he blasts us for our opinions. I'm still waiting for his Todd-Like repsonse loaded with facts he MUST have right on the tip of his tongue.

4Salt: I ,too, know more than you think about fishing issues and politics. I do belong to fishing organizations and I have and do fight for what I believe in by getting involved in person..not just here in the peanut gallery. I love to fish and do not apologize for wanting to fish every chance I get. Take Mike's advise and click on the link to the Landsburg Mitigation by the City of Seattle. Try to read the whole thing then come back with pithy comments about the issues and try real hard not to blast those of us trying to debate and learn more. We are mere mortals trying to do our homework and learn from each other....don't toss us into detention study hall yet.
