I may not like the idea of fish farms, but I have to agree not to highjack this sport fishing forum for that purpose. Spend your time and efforts where you are going to get the best bang for your buck ( two cents worth ). Join the lobbying group against fish farms or address it through your MLA.

I try to read every post made on here. Some are informative; some are less so. My feelings never get hurt if I spend a few seconds reading something that doesn't interest me in the end. I happen to agree with Little Hawk's basic position and wish I had the passion, inclination and time that he has for the subject.

Tend to disagree with ogg's issue. While yes, if the boards were plugged in the summer with these topics, it would be inappropriate since much is going on in the sports fishing world, but this is winter last time I checked. Very little goes on in the ocean and most people just discuss prep for next season, upgrades to boats etc etc
The lousy returns are a huge issue that effects all of us for next season and future season - why not discuss off-season? No better time IMH. Research is showing the harm caused by the fish-farming and if people want to try to deal with the problems that effect next seasons sport fishery, why not discuss here with the people that would likely be most passionate about the topic?
I say keep it going, just wrap it up in the late spring once everyone starts dropping their lines!

That's quite a funny thing to say: last time I looked you could still choose to read or choose not to read any posted thread on this forum, same as always. So if you don't like the topic, don't read about it. If you have something to say, you're free to say it. And if you choose to act like a clam and ignore one of the biggest threats to sport fishing, that's fine too. But if you choose to act like an butt by trying to find a way to muzzle folks who want to address the plague of fish farms, I will feel complelled to point out the absurdity of your mission. Take a look at the number of responses and the number of reads for the "Salmon Extinction" thread. You're in the minority around here O'dog. If you want something to "resent" you ought to start with the fish farmers, who for profit are perpared to destroy the wild runs of salmon we at this forum claim to value. Clams are bad enough; asses are worse.

...adding a topic to a forum is not considered hi-jacking...hi-jacking is a term used when someone makes a thread within a forum and then another person replies or posts off topic. The original poster or author can also hi-jack his/her own thread by posting off the original posted topic.
Any topic relating to the state of wild or hatchery stock salmon or other sport caught species is related to this forum...and in my books welcome. If you don't like the topic heading then don't click the link.
My view is that fish farms and how they opperate and effect the environment and other species around them, are every bit as importent as finding oout all of the info that you need to go and wack a few fish for the bucket. Just my opinion...
Cheers,
RVP.
