Fishing Guide's Livelihood - baited

We are a group of friends and clients of Wayne Priddy - Priddy Good Fishing. Wayne has been a fishing guide in the Pacific Northwest and Alaska for nearly forty years. During that time he has worked with Fish and Game to provide valuable information regarding the trends of the Salmon and Steelhead fish runs. He has also helped thousands of fisherman learn how to ethically fish (i.e. - don't yank to early) and has given kids the opportunity to enjoy this valuable experience. He has also dedicated  his time to worthy causes including; The Tillamook Salmon Rendezvous, The Wounded Warrior Fund, Kings for Kids, The American Heart Association, The Overian Cancer Society, North Clackamas School District, Whiskey Creek Fish Hatchery, Salmon Quest, and Hogs and Dogs.  All of us fishermen and women want to insure that the Salmon run continues and respect the efforts of  Fish and Game to keep regulations in place. However, when law-enforcement is placed in boats in an apparent "sting" operation and takes it upon themselves to entrap a respected guide; we feel that is unjustified. Wayne has lost his fishing privledges for over a year; potentially longer. This was his only source of income. Additionally, he has incurred thousands of dollars in legal fees trying to defend his case. Wayne hasn't asked us to take up his case. But as friends and fellow sportsmen, we want to support someone we believe in. Please help us help Wayne. We believe that the punishment does not fit the "crime".
