Troutdale, I'm sure if you examined the past positions of every NGO, you could find numerous issues on which you disagreed. If you were to hold a grudge in every one of those instances then you would soon find no group to work with on any issue.
The current issue is the McCloud. The goals for the fishery are stated. Four separate NGO's have signed onto those goals. The question that was asked was if you can assist in supporting those goals. The four have equal voice. If you would like to make sure that white water kayaking is not to be considered, pick one of the four, join, give any references that may prove of value and ask to be on the committee dealing with the McCloud issue. Work from the inside.
The issue of kayaks and white water is not mentioned anywhere in the goals.
Friends of the River are not one of the NGO's that has signed on.
The state of our fisheries is in too much peril to hold onto grudges and past disappointments.
I'm glad to hear that you are or were active in some type of advocacy. Many who post negative comments are not. Those are the slackers I'm referring to. I give much more respect to an adversary I face across a table than to a vandal with a spray can painting epitaphs on the building.
