The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

OT,

My experience with Cal Trout is similar to yours.

In spite of that organization's lack of involvement in interventions during FERC relicensing in the 80's when the Northern California Council of Fly Fishing Clubs (before being NCCFFF) and CSPA were supporting Bob Biaochi's activity of filing interventions on each license and fighting against the original peripheral canal (ballot proposition) without the assistance of Cal Trout (don't want to upset those donors in the lower part of the state), I was a contributor to Cal Trout for many years (annual membership, responded to mailings, attended dinners). I made a decision not to contribute to Cal Trout anymore (with my donation funds and time going to FFF, TU, DU, and other groups of my choosing) after a drunk “stream-keeper” threatened the safety of a fishing companion and myself at the Fall River access one evening during the Hex hatch in 1989. I haven't received any apology from Cal Trout for the actions of their "stream-keeper" and my repeated e-mail and US Mail requests to be removed from their mailing lists have been ignored.

Screw em is being polite,

Paul
