The Northern California Fly Fishing Board

Frank,
Your conundrum is understandable.

I like to look at the problem from "What If?" It sucks to take bulldozers and destroy forests to build a fire break. But that cost is insignificant to what we lose if we don't stop the fire.

Personally I think fishing continues to decline around California. I don't know why. But the fish are not there in the numbers and size they were even 1o years ago. There are success stories to be sure, but I think overall we are losing ground.

Even the subtle things - like yesterday on the LT in the meadow section - where has all the sagebrush gone? And what does it mean? More runoff, ecological imbalance???

From an outsider's perspective I think that young kid (Lass) is doing a good job. Can you become a TU chapter, then later decide to "unafiliate" if its not working out?
