Well put, Krijack.

From your text, do you have info that the Skokomish River will once again be closed to Rec fishing this season? Last I saw, that issue was "to be determined" by continued talks to be conducted after NOF came to a close.

There are multiple examples that substantiate beyond any doubt that "Co-Management" is cooperative in name only...but the Skok controversy--in which both sides proclaim an agreement is their primary objective--begs for some public oversight.

It's ridiculous that I should even be asking you this question. As you have made clear, transparency is the only viable solution.
