Dude, read the quote of Shad's that I was responding to regarding a "REAL" political fight.

I was literally in a room full of far right christian conservatives addressing transgender policy in schools when you posted this. I also never made any claim or assumption about what you do or do not know - you're the one who's assuming what I know. Again, we're on the same side for this...

I've also had an anecdotal theory that falling barometer was good and rising was bad. It never changed my decision on whether to fish or not, and I never kept detailed records.

I actually agree with a lot of the things you said. I don't want everyone working for big companies, and I am a former small business owner (I owned a fly shop on the lower Deschutes). The part I'm not hearing is how log truck drivers are getting crushed. All the comments I've read that have...

The question was how these drivers in particular are being crushed when the rest of us are not. If the lumber companies are paying for the fuel, how would fuel prices negatively impact drivers? If drivers are working freelance, they would certainly incorporate fuel prices into their quotes...

Yes, please draw me a map and explain the economics of how the people who pass their costs along to consumers are the ones getting crushed. Also, please define "crushed." Keep in mind that the consumers aren't "crushed" at the moment.

If they're passing the cost on to consumers, how are they being crushed?

If people would stop whining about government and start running for office, maybe there wouldn't be so much to whine about. There are so many open positions, and unopposed candidates that there's a good chance you could get elected and actually do something about any issue you desire - even gas...

I kinda wish I hadn't checked my notifications. Nowhere in this thread did I tell you that you're a bunch of loudmouth jerks. I offered a suggestion, and you decided to react in a negative manner. Anyone can go back and read how this conversation went. The OP was advocating to send emails to...

I know that there are many legislators that care about recreational salmon fishing, and I know even more who care about salmon stocks because of the whales. I also know that I offered advice and the three of you got your panties in a wad rather than just hearing it and moving on. So if this is...

Done. Have fun with your angry emails to WDFW staff. That's definitely never been tried before:rolleyes:

The second paragraph of the comment you replied to demonstrates that I was not advocating for negotiating with the commission. I gave a strategy to get the legislature involved so these sorts of things don't happen.

That's where the legislature comes in - the part of my comment that you ignored. If you've done your work with the public and the local governments - which I'm not sure is true, since the commercial guys definitely have their own support both on the commission level and at the local government...

Guys, I am well aware of the difficulties surrounding salmon and steelhead management. I am well aware of the various groups all trying to peel off a piece of the dwindling runs for themselves without working together to improve the runs so everyone could get at least a little more of what they...

Maybe I am being polite. Maybe I've been to enough WDFW meetings to be able to say that nearly all communication they receive is full of anger and accusations. Nearly all of the comments also are factually incorrect. All I have done on this thread is post a little bit of advice. That advice...

You're making a lot of assumptions about what I think rather than listening to what I'm saying.

Maybe there's evidence out there that Teslas already drive/float on water...

I'm not saying to even talk to WDFW. I said to be more public than just sending emails. Emails have been tried, and have failed for these kinds of things. I have been successful in getting WDFW to make changes on my local fisheries by having a respectful conversation - though salmon and...

Non-tribal netting definitely shouldn't be allowed in an area that sport fishing is under emergency closure. There's nothing WDFW can do about tribal. It would probably be best to voice frustration in a more public way than just emailing a few people. It's also generally better to avoid the...

I do live really close to Potholes...
