Advocacy can work.
I've seen it work. The Rockview land deal proved beyond any doubt that it can work.
The sportsmens clubs don't take the defeatist attitude that advocacy doesn't work. They express their wishes to their legislators and their Fish Commissioners. And that has an influence.
If we (the wild trout supporters) talked more to our legislators and Fish Commissioners, that would have an influence also.
As I've already said, in 2003 the PFBC tried to take 63 Class B streams off the stocking list. Which shows that they want to do the right thing.
They just need more support.
