WDFW has much more than an image problem. The have a basic competence problem.

The fact that they cannot manage either the put and take lowland trout or willapa bay salmon fisheries tells the whole story on the incompetence. These are simple fisheries management situations and they have failed abysmally on both counts and WDFW owns the entire process.

If they can't do those properly, how can you possibly expect them to do an even mediocre job of managing the much more complex salmon fisheries in PS involving multiple treaties, wild and hatchery populations, rampant habitat degradation, hydro projects, pollution, etc, etc. Same with steelhead.

What a mess.
