I have been impatiently waiting for someone to stand up to the stupidity of the States plan! What sense is there to spend all that money removing dams when the end result will be even more terrible policy which will damage even more marine species! Thank you very much for this action!!!

I hope that you will show similar leadership in eliminating hatchery contamination in the Elwha River and capitalize on the world's most unique dam removal and wild salmon and steelhead recolinization and recovery opportunities. Sincerely, Matt Stoecker Principle Fisheries Biologist and Owner Stoecker Ecological Dear Washington Division of Fish and Wildlife officials,

Through out history our goverment has chosen not to mix science and the rule of law. I have been hopeing over the last 3 three years to see results but there just has not been much if any movement from the Fed or WDFW. Just to say it: I have been a WA ST Auto Dealer Assoc Lobbyist and spoken to 20-30 Senators and representatives over the last 25 years. testified at commitees sucessfully .What I have learned : Here is what they understand what moves them, 1 MONEY, Losing their JOB,Elect someone who will fire them. 2 Legal Action that can go all the way up the ladder and possibly set a federal precident.3 giving a little to get a little , get your foot in the door so you can show them how it benefits Idea: get one open WA river that they make fly fishing only for all wild species, catch and release ,10 years. Show them the economic impact (Montana).Idea 2 Combine all monies of the various clubs to a Super Pac and throw them out. The give a little: probably have to buy the resource or pay the native Americans. Got to go back to work, Wayne Schiffman Lifetime Member.
