Why I Haven't Attended Musky Club Meetings

Post by Don Wittenberger » Sun Oct 16, 2011 2:17 pm

As many of you know, I'm the musky fishing community's representative on WDFW's Inland Fisheries Policy Advisory Group (IFPAG). Currently, our state has three musky fishing clubs -- one in Federal Way, one in Puyallup, and one in Spokane. Earlier this year, I posted a comment stating that I wanted to visit all three clubs this year, but this is now postponed. For most of this year, I've been functionally blind in one eye, which limits my ability to drive. Fortunately, I've been able to continue attending IFPAG meetings by ride sharing with another IFPAG member, but I haven't been able to attend club meetings because that requires freeway driving, which I don't want to do while my vision is impaired. When I had my first eye surgery in March, I hoped this issue would be resolved by this fall, but I had a relapse and needed a second surgery in August, which has pushed my recovery into next year. If all goes well, I hope to see you all again sometime around March or April. D.W.
