I had a feeling you were lurking out there aunty em! how are ya?
Ill come out that night to issaquah. it would be fun to put some faces to the monikers on the board. I am going to call WT and see if i can go to the auction as well. I would like to learn more about them.

I probably wont agree with them on everything but I will make my voice heard where I do not agree. i am one of those people that is ususlly in the minority of opinion, no matter what the group. but I find that I learn more by engaging and debating with those that disagree with me than I do from those that agree with me.

In my opinion- the US fish and wildlife will wake up and smell the coffee the day that all of these sportfishing and conservation groups put up a unified front. the more that we fight amongst ourselves, the more we protect their inefficiency and commercial collusion.
Now is the time to make an effort between all fisheries/environmental related groups to find out where we are all in agreement and create a common front out of that agreement. ( like the US and russia in WW2, they didnt agree with eachother on politics but there was common threat to address)

If the hood canal tribs have any kind of chance of ever recovering It will be thanks to LLTK.They have been able to do what no other single group has done,get all the interested parties to work together.It is not just LLTK but the the Hood Canal Enhancement Group,the tribes,state and many private land owners,not to mention a huge amount of volunteers, to work together to make huge strides in both hatchery reforms and the recovery of our endangerd fish stocks.This ability to work together spells the success that our wild fish stocks need.

Okay, I'm sorry to admit that with all our prep that I haven't really been watching this.

I'm going to close this thread ... not because of like or dislike for WT or any individual; rather, I'm closing the thread because some of these posts are plain and simple turning into personal attacks ... that's not kosher.

Thanks for your understanding
