Hi Little John,
I think there has been some confusion floating around in this discussion. When someone submits a specific lake survey report, there are four choices of confidentially one can pick. If you check only the Co-reporters and/or only the WDFW, no one else can see the report except people who are on the same trip with you and/or the bios. Of course you can pick any combination among these choices to enlarge “information distribution circle”. It is your choice.
So, as a result, we as the Trail Blazers members do not have access to every single survey report. But, on the other hand, when each year the club has meetings to discuss which lakes should be continue to be stocked, we try to get every member’s input so that we can make intelligent recommendation to the state biologists for them to best manage the state water for the public.
As the TB members, we do not have special privileges to the survey data. We only have privileges/responsibilities to serve the public as a group of volunteers. And thanks for submitting lake survey reports, which I guarantee you have been treated property based on your and other surveyor’s wishes. I hope you will continue to submit your lake surveys, for they are extremely important for the state to properly manage the resources for the public to enjoy.
Happy fishing!
