Bush is NOT a friend of our fisheries.

Absolutely correct - he isn't. But he isn't an enemy of them, either.
Last I checked, it isn't in the job description, and the same document
provides for no right(s) as to folks being able to fish on public
waters. The fact that it is available is much like a driver's license,
a hunting license, etc. - a privilege.

Bush isnt a enemy? You are very ignorant.
President Bush appointed
Mark Rey as the Undersecretary for Natural Resources and the
Environment. Rey is now responsible for the care and management of our
National Forests and Grasslands. Mark Rey was keynote speaker for
Allicance for America. What is their views on the environment?
"Our goal is to destroy, to eradicate the environmental movement. We
want to be able to exploit the environment for private gain,
absolutely."

Bush has renamed timber harvest plans to "fire reduction plans". The
greatest risk of fire is the angeles forest which borders southern
california. This area has little desirable lumber tho. No surprise
that all of southern california gets less funding that miniscule towns
in alaska.

Another key Bush appointe was a former lawyer for the timber industry
(forget his name). He advocated treating hatchery salmon and
steelhead as counting as wild fish. Now Bush has him running in
charge of our fisheries (the NOA?). He has no education in the
sciences, wildlife, or biology, he was a lawyer for timber so they
could rape the environment to make money. Now he is in charge of
protecting the environment. No surprise he is advocating rules that
could destroy our anadromous waterways.
