KRSA cause conflict in our community

A recent opinion piece in the Clarion by Ricky Gease, Executive Director for Kenai River Sportfishing Association (KRSA), claimed to enlighten us on two different issues in a “fact based and truthful” manner when in fact they were neither. Instead, he chose the route of misinformation intended to mislead our community into believing their recent lobbying efforts to oust Board of Fisheries (BOF) member, Vince Webster of Naknek, were justified. KRSA’s actions in this regard were sleazy at best and further illustrate how far this organization will go to maintain control over all aspects of fisheries management on the Kenai River and Upper Cook Inlet.

Kenai River group should focus on river, not Cook Inlet setnetters

The executive director of Kenai River Sportfishing Association (KSRA), 501(c)3 nonprofit “dedicated to ensuring the sustainability of the world's premier sportfishing river, “recently wrote an editorial in which he appropriately gave his organization credit for leading the successful charge to block the legislative confirmation of Vince Webster to the Alaska Board of Fisheries. In a swift and organized character assassination, KSRA spread false and misleading information vilifying Mr. Webster.
