Half of the SAWT anglers would complain and whine that "but if half-wit angler-Joe is allowed to fish that section why cannot the tournament anglers who likely have superior fish handling skills". IF you dont think this would happen, then you need to wake up. It's like anything in the world, if the saw says you should be allowed to do something then there will be a group of people who think it is their legal right to do so and if a third party says no then that group will resist. If people were allowed to carry guns, they would.
It's not so simple as the SAWT saying "we are closing this section". especially when competition, money, and men are involved. There was no conflict of interest with the President of WU and SAWT being the same guy. If anything it worked to the best interests of both groups by incorporating them together. Providing both groups with invaluable information about the sport and the fish that we all enjoy.
PS. The people who know the answers are smart enough to not get involved in this kind of thing. I mean come on, it doesn't take a genius to figure out the clashing mentalities and superegos floating around here creates the grounds for a legitimate discussion about as stable as boiling water. That is why those who have the answers have pretty much said no more than tell people where to go for meetings that will provide some information.

Shooooo Troll. at the end of that paragraph I stated that the point of what I had just said was to exemplify that if someone makes a rule there will always be people who oppose it. And your bolded statements in the second paragraph do not support you trying to call me out. actually support mine as my stance has always been " it isnt so simple for someone to say its closed" there are other factors, hurdles, arguments, decisions, and commitments that have to be considered. What exactly those things are, i do not know and neither do any of us. as like i said I am not a board member of sawt so I wouldnt know. but I tried to exemplify what some of these things may be. maybe the example i gave wasnt an issue. but maybe there was some other issue that I havent thought of yet.
seriously horse, throughout the course of this thread you have displayed some issues comprehending tone and tense of a discussion or statement. This is a common problem of discussions made via a keyboard as opposed to the old fashion person to person. Next time you are in town drop me a line and I will take you for a pint and we will take care of some of these comprehension issues regarding my posts. as for the other individuals who you may or may not have missed the tone or tense, well thats on them to address and not me.
