[I]Good...Good day for fishermen. We've not yet won the battle, but business has really picked up.

Thanks to a recent press release in support of the Hatcheries by the TWRA, it's all over the news. Our group has been pushing this to the press for three months, but the TWRA has so much influence that they've got it printing and airing everywhere!

Thanks to the TWRA finally stepping up to support us, we're all over the news in the last fourteen hours.

Someone in the Hatchery staff also got a call today from The Knoxville News Sentinel (their main newspaper).[/I]
