Welcome!
Are you JAMES SULESKI aka, FishSticks, Swiss Family Robinson, Kgregor12 and now Jmac?
Are you the the same guy that is a board member at the Native Fish Coalition?
Just asking and want to make sure I have all your aliases correct? If this is incorrect please someone let me know. I'm not sure what the Native Fish Coalition is all about? Does anyone have any information on what they do other than troll fly fishing websites?
This is the public information on that website
JAMES SULESKI — Native Fish Coalition
JAMES SULESKI has experience in watershed assessment.…
nativefishcoalition.org
JAMES SULESKI grew up in south Jersey where he fly fished for stocked and often nonnative trout. He moved to Pennsylvania with his wife, where he developed a passion for fishing small remote streams for wild native brook trout. A physician, James’ career took him to Hershey, Pennsylvania, where he had access to the headwater streams of Schuylkill, Dauphin, Lebanon, Cumberland, and Perry Counties. He soon became involved in conservation non-profs, where he learned about stream restoration. This includes spearheading an effort to restore a local spring creek that contains a population of wild native brook trout. James has experience in watershed assessment, grant writing, and organizing multi-stakeholder projects. Like most of us, he wants to see more protection provided to wild native fish, and less emphasis on stocking and nonnative fish, as he realizes that habitat is only part of the equation. James can be reached at Info@nativefishcoalition.org

It must be such a bummer to come out of a manic episode and realize you aren’t actually a part of an elite task force to take down the despotic PFBC and, in fact, you’ve really just been locked in your basement saving your urine in Gatorade bottles as you feverishly argue with yourself on a fishing forum using 7 burner accounts.
The situation is very confusing. The guy seems to represent The Native Fish Coalition Organization is some manner, but I don't get if it is a trustworthy or reputable organization if this is how their board members behave. I may have it all wrong and if I do, please anyone is welcome to correct me with my questioning.
Really what kind of person has to make multiple accounts, get kicked out every time and yet keep coming back for more. This behavior has me very confused. If I have the wrong person or understanding of the situation please correct me anyone. I don't know if something is up with the The Native Fish Coalition Organization for board members to act this way. I may have it wrong so please feel to help understand the situation better.

I think that it WAS a reputable organization.
Maybe not so much now that it's been hit with the Fish Sticks schtick.
Yeah here is Fish Sticks posting about his Wet Fly Swing Podcast he did with the Native Fish Coalition and James Suleski. So he didn't hide the fact who he was and what organization he represented.

Well, I suppose you can add Jerry O’houlihan to that list...🤷♂️
It's a real bummer, he had a good story too.
It would be great if there was a "sticks" thread in the OT section that had only one rule....no rules. Wild West 🤣.
I'm guessing that the organization is well intentioned but ...maybe not. Could be a wolf in sheep's clothing siphoning government funds for all I know.
I think his approach of punching babies and stomping kittens to make his point didn't go over very well. He definitely came across thinking he was superior in intelligence and intention. You were not allowed to have a differing opinion on the topic or he launched verbally abusive attacks. Depending on my mood, found it hilariously entertaining or made me want to jump in front of a city bus.

I think O’houlihan was a good dodge ball player
"He definitely came across thinking he was superior in intelligence and intention." I heard that from other people about his posts. Clearly he is a very bright guy. Must be a lot of fun to sit a round a fire and talk about brook trout until your ears bleed. If you like that kinda thing.
