The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Who writes the law? Who is the one who decides that insects and fish take precedence over power or whitewater? Power companies want one thing, anglers want another, rafters want one more, etc. Now if we had a natural untouched environment on California's rivers maybe you could get a law passed that said this habitat must be left in its natural state. But since that's not the case and there are lots of interest groups, you're left with your dirty word: compromise. Because if it came down to interest groups, anglers are going to be bringing up the rear in terms of influence.

Hey, Charlie, I'm on your side about the rivers, that's for damn sure. And if there were compromises made, and there is an obligation for follow up and research and corrections to made if things got more screwed up than promised, then somebody better flippin' step up and get it done. And if CalTrout doesn't live up to that obligation everyone on this board who is pissed at them is justified.
