american way..... solution to polution is dillution. if we are worried about smolt mortality then fishing in general is a factor. these chemicals may in fact be lethal to a fry/smolt but so is a 1/0 hook. the powers that be throw our money at their situations ie raw sewage run-off ect. pay a fine problem solved. they find a way to shift focus off from real issues and place blame on us.we get less opportunity at a higher price and the cycle continues. not being much of a bait chucker myself, this doesn't really effect me too much. unless some serious changes occur soon we won't have to worry about egg cures there won't be any eggs to cure. the only thing odfw is really interested in is money(in my oppinion). that doesn't mean that the employees share that sentiment, but they are forced to follow policy or be unemployed. once upon a time some people that were tired of being shafted came together and stood up for their beliefs against the powers that be, they were patriotic. why is it that we are now afraid to be patriots? enough is enough, the only way it is going to get different is if we as patriots, say enough is enough. rights used to include things. like health happiness and prosperity.now you have the right to pay the man. something is wrong. each of us can make a difference if and when we get tired of business as usual.
