Todd Davidson passed the buck to ODFW's Rick Hargrave. Rick had no clue about water temps in the lower Columbia, and has never fished the Columbia. His great quote was, "We're just promoting fisheries like we always do." Yeah, Rick, with absolutely no regard for ESA listed fish!!<br /><br />Bob Rees, the only truly conservation minded person in the mix, admitted he hadn't thought about water temps, and says he'll strive to be a voice of reason in future meetings.<br /><br />Liz, who talks a good line for wild fish while promoting industry, said water temps are a non-issue because the fish stop biting when the temps get above 67 or 68F. Which is mostly true.<br /><br />So this little PR white-wash boils down to the promotion of a two to three week season below I-205, and one in which most people will not find success.<br /><br />Verdict: disengenuous bullshit, and a sign of things to come. No surprise, considering the source.chaveechahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15143640542452236754noreply@blogger.com
