The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Bruce,

CalTrout has done some excellent work on our behalf.

I am not very good at compromise. In fact, I can state catagorical that I sorely lack that skill. Just because I took CT's action very personally is no reason why you should not support them. Once again, they have fought for us.

I imagine that eventually I'll be able to let go of my personal bitterness toward CT. But after thirty years of donating my hard-earned money -- I'm just an honest wage earner of modest great means -- it's going to take me quite awhile to get passed this. That, I know, is my problem.

In retrospect, I should have kept this to myself. But know this, in my entire life I've rarely felt so betrayed. I must have held CT on a pedestal.

Foolish me.
