You Too Can Sponsor a Protester....

Lemons into lemonaide.....a bad, nasty situation and flipping it on it's face

There are now two ways you can turn the planned Three Rivers Sportsman's Alliance protest of the Native Fish Society's Annual Banquet on April 11th into a fundraising opportunity for NFS.

Wild Fish advocates have set up the Adipose Pledge as a quick and easy way to show your support for wild fish and to show you've got the Native Fish Society's back.  Take a peek and take action.  All money raised will be directly given to the NFS at the upcoming April 11th banquet.

And in the effort to call out the 800 pound gorilla in the room, NFS has set up an easy way for you to sponsor a protester.  Click HERE to see how you can be a part of this genius marketing effort.

This whole situation is nuts. Anglers protesting anglers.  Misconception after misconception.

Such misguided hatred.

Science backs wild fish recovery.  NFS isnt out to take out all hatcheries.  This protest is crazytown.

Lemons into Lemonade Baby!   Be a part of the solution, not the conflict.

Big Time Booyah For Wild Steelhead...

After a long and contentious process, the Wa Department of Fish and Wildlife designated 3 lower Columbia River tributaries as "Wild Steelhead Gene Banks"

Aside of hatchery strays, the East Fork of the Lewis, Green/North Fork of the Toutle and the Wind River will no longer receive hatchery steelhead plants.

This is big time for wild fish.   We're going to let nature heal itself and it's my hope, and others, that these Wild Steelhead Gene Banks will serve as a blueprint for recovery.

A Voice For The Sol Duc..Action Required

Readers of this blog probably have seen this picture before.  This beautiful fish took me a on a ride on the Sol Duc River just outside of Forks, WA...one of the last strongholds of Wild Steelhead in the world.  It will remain imprinted on my mind forever.

Right now, the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife is accepting public comments on the uncertain future of this hatchery.   Now till June 30th.....you have the opportunity to have your voice heard.

Lets do what we can to have our opinion known that this hatchery needs to go and the possibility of a Wild Steelhead refuge is the best alternative.

Take this opportunity and run with it.   Take a moment and visit the Native Fish Society's site for information on what you can do about the Snider Creek Hatchery.
