to the netting the of the rivers ??? Or to the lack of enforcement of the Boldt ruling??

How many more ways are the tribes going to find to walk all over this State!

Makes you wonder if Dino would have done the same?

Wonder if Gov. Gregoire ever has a problem getting a table.

We are up a river no matter who it is, the Commercials are in Dino's back pocket and the tribes are in Gregroir's...

Pony up, boys!

Anyone who would vote for Dino Rossi, and thinks that fish, fish habitat, and recreational fishing are important, is a f***** idiot.

Period.

Fish on...

Todd

Why????

Or at least pass the cool aid so I can feel good about a Gov who's signed every bill written by a tribe!

Because Dino, besides not being very bright, is a developer.

Period.

He's a member of the "Wise Use" community, which means "I think we should just f***** use this" community...

Fish on...

Todd

The only thing more retarded than voting for Rossi if you care at all about the fish, fishing, or fish habitat, is the "Sportsmen for Bush!" bumper stickers I still see around...

How can people who manage to peel off a sticker and put it on a vehicle that they presumably own be that stupid?

Fish on...

Todd

Gotta agree with Todd on this one...

If you are pro-natural resources you need to be in someone else's camp other than the Dino.

Weak Todd,
What about the 2000 crab pots in the "no commercial zone" of Lopez Sound that are there because the Gov. wont challange the tribes??? And that's straight from the Gammie's mouth. When the Gammie's can't stand her I have reason to question her leadership regarding fish matters.

Not going to argue that Dino's the answer but as an undecided aint nobody making a good argument for Gregior! Least of all herself.

Bumper sticker arguments don't work for me. Call Dino names if you want (after all aint every conservative "not very bright") but please make an argument for Gregior. Facts please!

Or pass the cool aid

Good stuff Todd I couldn't agree with you more.

Greg, Dino was my representative back in the day when I lived up on the Plateau, and I've had conversations with him, and the "ain't so bright" part is a very real and personal observation, not a partisan rant.

Gregoire has appointed a slew of fish friendly commissioners, and that has done more for fish and fishing than Dino would ever do, and the observations about Dino's disprespect for fish, fishing, and the environment are observed facts, not partisan bickering, either.

Most of the non-recreational-friendly politicos in this state happen to be Democrats, and they get my ire up just as fast as anyone else...again, it's not partisan, it's factual...but Dino will just make the situation worse, and you can take that to the bank.

Anytime you hear any politician say "wise use" when they are talking about the environment, that is code word for "rape and pillage"...and rape and pillage is what Dino is all about. Check on who his main contributors are...none of them have any respect for fish, fishing, or the environment, either.

Being an unreasonable partisan would be voting for Dino because you're a Republican sympathizer, and somehow deceiving yourself that it would be good for fish, fishing, or fish habitat.

Fish on...

Todd

It's Kool Aid. Only Fonzie can pass the cool aid.

Voting for Rossi is like vomiting in your underwear when you're drunk at the company Christmas party, and then pulling them up for a ride home in the care cab.

Damn...



Fish on...

Todd,
That’s better-

“Check on who his main contributors are.” That goes both ways I suppose. So one’s bought and paid for by developers and the other by tribes (and Gov unions)? That’s just great!

The way I see it is 30 years ago we could fish our choice of streams for spring steelhead and today what 1 or 2 rivers! 30 years of Democratic leadership in this State and their ain’t a whole lot to show for it! I know it’s complicated as PS’s population doubles about every 20 or 30 years and that rate isn’t slowing down any so I wish there was some way we could accommodate that without hurting our recreational interests? Just not sure Gov. Gregior has shown the leadership attributes to pull that off.

Still undecided………………

Fish4brains,
Thank you for your excellent contribution to this thread!

BroodBuster,

What is it you'd have Gregoire do, besides appointing sport and fish friendly candidates to the WDFW Commission, to demonstrate her committment to fish in WA state?

Please don't bring up tribal fishing. You've been around the block enough times here to know the state, let alone the gov, can't do anything about tribal fishing.

Bringing up where you could steelhead fish 30 years ago is almost as dumb. What did Gregoire have to do with the changes in steelhead fishing opportunity over the past 30 years? At least she was Director of the Department of Ecology during the only time in its existance that it wasn't known as the "department of apology."
