Funny how much people speak about caring for the resource, yet can't get a dozen people to volunteer for a restoration event, or the ones that do arent actually that into angling.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonAndersen Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Taco, i hope the sense of outrage will result in meaningful changes. I would suggest a "Summitt" of all users to figure out how the habitat destruction can be turned around. How this might be organized I haven't a clue. It would appear that the only organization who really understood the issues are the Backcountry Hunters and Anglers. They or a Govt Group would be best regards, Don 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll push habitat restoration as much as I pushed for people to send letters against the closures. To be honest, I never even fish any of the rivers that were going to be closed. I got involved in this because I saw the absurdity of closing the rivers to angling without addressing habitat issues. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
