2027 Pink Run Destroyed

[Happy Gilmore]

We had pinks up in the parking lot at Fall City after the prior "wipeout" flood in a river that didn't dump hatchery anythings! WDFW is so full of their own ingredients they couldnt give you a scientific fact if they got an advanced degree with one for free.

Anyone who was paid by WDFW to be an expert in anything was simply cashing a paycheck for nothing after 1993.

While everyone is entitled to their own personal opinion, this quite possible be the most ignorant statement I have seen in a while…..

There are some good people however, those at the management levels running budgets and making decisions have done nothing for the sportsman and women of Washington. They have however, appeased the environmentalists. They are excellent at it.

At the policy level, I agree. The liberal governors have ensured that the commission members are selected to appease the anti hunting and fishing voters of the state, which sadly, is the majority. They know which side of the bread gets buttered.

Between my wife and I, we had 60 years of doing our best to produce fish for this state, only to watch policy decisions that did its best to derail any effort to increase harvest opportunities. Hence our decision to head east, and try to forget how bad it is there now…..

We both worked at and managed hatcheries all over the state. I started in 1990 with the department of Fisheries, loved through the merger(which was sold as a cost saving scheme, that failed miserably) and ended up managing hatcheries for a Tribe and a PUD. The wife did basically the same, but ended up managing a resident fish hatchery for a Tribe, and managed the program that stocked Rufus Woods as well.

Ive volunteered at Cedar River, Issaquah, Rock Island, Rocky Reach, Chelan, Wells and Similkamene. And done fish studies with the Feds on Burbot in Lake Chelan.

My opinions are always ignorant. Forgot about helping raise fingerlings on a creek between Monroe and Sultan in 1991.
