Why no poaching article?

Letter to the Editor

Why has there been no article on the poachers that were caught netting fish on Banks Lake on December 8, 2014. Had to have my brother call me from Wenatchee and tell me about the article in the Wenatchee World and the other article in the Spokesman

Review. If people are kept informed about issues like this in this area it helps to make them more aware and alert. They are more likely to report suspicious activity to authorities when they observe it.

Editor’s reply: Good question. Answer: Because daily newspapers’ dedicated outdoor columnists do a better job than we do of watching the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, which rarely notifies us of its activities.

We’ll try to do better.
