15% is not much above inflation over 7 years, not 1 year. Inflation over the last 7 years has to be 10-12%. I'm glad that it's above inflation. It will give them more money to put fish in our rivers and more money to figure out how we can have a sustainable Salmon poplulation and more money to get kids into fishing and more money to build handicap docks and access.
They better not increase the price again for atleast 4 years.
for the love of god no!!!!!! if you think odf is greedy put some suite and ties in charge of this! Now $30 bucks is a big hit, but if it sticks at that for 7 years well then im cool with that. This poll is the first thing ive seen this year that concerns me... it means they are trying to target their core group an then patronizing them, so if odf sees stocking ponds as the new trend they will take money from steelhead and salmon to fund a more aggressive pond stocking program. They are trying to get a feel for where the futer fishermen are coming from... and who they are. ( this idea was probably brought up by an outside enity odf is paying) if it looks like out of staters are a core group they will come up with programs to target them.... so, carefull how you answer the pollPrivatize ODFW.
Wrong,:naughty: it doesn't take more money to make better runs it takes better management.Exactly. The increasing cost of gear limits my fishing far more than a few extra bucks when I buy my license. Ya ODFW is confused but in order for us to ever have decent runs it's going to cost more money, so we all have to pay more to fish.
Where exactly were you ten years ago man, the fishing now is not better than it was ten years ago.Do you guys honestly think that ODFW can plant more fish for the same amount of money? Granted there's things ODFW can do to run more cost effective but if we want more fish we have to pay for them. I think as a whole fishing is better now than it was 10 years ago. Do you guys think that could have happened without the last fee increase?
Hey beaver, this is all for the sake of bsin' and fun, but who is countin' the fish, the odfw. I've just seen too much crooked ***t from government agencies and it's hard to believe much anymore, nothin' personal and no hard feelin's. Fishon.:think: :think:
yaaa brother now were talkin', but what can we do about it as people and fisherman?ya man no hard feeling at all man! Your entitled to your opinion and i'm entitled to mine :d i don't want everyone to think i'm like all about odfw and how they run things cuz i'm not, but i do think if we want odfw to do have the stuff we've been asking them to do they're gonna need more money to do it. More money and better management. If they just charge more money and don't change anything else then we're gonna have some problems.
yaaa brother now were talkin', but what can we do about it as people and fisherman?
Me I'm gonna go work for em as a stream biologist, as for everyone else all we can do is send emails and show up at there input hearings.
