Please check out   www.fs.usda.gov/tonto , then click on "Sustainable" under the recreation theme. G&F really need inputs. I spoke with the Manager of the TF Recreation Department--after several meetings --ZERO attendees from the fishing population--They need our inputs, be it good , bad or indifferent---several meetings remain on the agenda--

just reading government language like that makes me want to puke. let alone go to a meeting. read, how do we shift our burden to use tax money wisely to protect our resources to the taxpayers who use the resources. best bet on the outcome is well just have to raise the daily permit fee from 6 and 4 bucks to ten and 5. duh. but hey well do a bunch of meetings with the public to cover our phony baloney plan to take more money from the public. and guess what the public will say thank u very much and jump right over the cliff like the lemings weve become.

maybe they can close some more fish cleaning stations,

I wish I knew of the local meetings earlier, I would have attended. The up coming meetings are not doable for me. We need to try and be a part of G&F's decisions. So I erg any angler that can attend to do so and do so with an open mind.   

Art- let's talk before the Tonto Basin Meeting.
