The lawsuit is a year old so the relevance today is that EPIC has pissed off some of it's own supporters. And other concerned citizens. Is it a big deal? You decide.
Mad River Hatchery may not comment on a pending lawsuit. The people who contacted me are concerned because there has been a significant reduction in the catch and keep smelt since last year. According to their calculations, by the 2018-2019 season, there will be no catch and keep smelt to fish. Many people come to visit the area to fish, they patronize local businesses.
According to one person, he sees EPIC's lawsuit as wanting to preserve the genetic purity of the fish.
Is Mad River Hatchery concerned?
What is EPIC hoping to gain?
ReplyDeleteDo they not understand that people fishing on the river care about the river.
Perhaps another fund raising gimmick? That's pretty much what EPIC is about, as far as I'm concerned.
