Took my first vacation day today and went to the Altmar Fish Hatchery. The trout were in big time. Some real nice ones.
Today was the Assembly Fishing and Hunting Taskforce Day. This taskforce is to hear from the sportsmen on how the government can better help to promote and preserve our favorite past times here in NY. Many sportsmans groups were represented there. I went to represent the NY State trappers as we were invited and I knew I could make it. I got there to find that not only wasn't I on the list to speak with the taskforce, the invitation wasn't ever returned or confirmed.
Hour and a half up, hour and a half back, half a tank of gas, meeting from ten to one thirty, one vacation day down the tubes. Probably should of saved all that for myself!

Sorry Scott, I can't remember who was to make the contacts . I don't think we made it clear at the meeting . I guess that will make it my fault. Like anything that goes wrong, I am the one to be responsible. Once again I am truly sorry for your inconvenience. Dave
