After speaking with several of the few guides who attended the meeting, the word is this. No association was formed. No election was taken. Most agreed that there were issues, but there was no consensus on forming a new association to address them. Robert Gibson is the self appointed president of his own association with little or no support and out of touch with the issues important to both guides and the angling public on the Upper Kenai River. By substantiating Robert’s association in print, both the Peninsula Clarion and the Anchorage Daily News have shown themselves to be out of touch, muddied the waters and inflamed resentment and jealousy between river user groups. That is precisely why some of the responsible and professional guides are dubious about creating a new organization.
