I think one of the biggest factors is lack or opportunity. As we speak. Sky is shut down. It was loaded with fish below the Wallace the other day. Samish closed on the 13th. Skok closed. Skagit & Cascade open but with closures for tribe to net. Add in the other rivers and people have limited places to fish.

Years ago I had friends give me [Bleeeeep!] because I went to the coastal rivers when the Sno/Sky was full of Coho. They asked why I would spend the $$. Now there is no choice.

Throw in the Steelhead closures and we're screwed. That is why I stepped up and paid the $$ to get into some of the timber lands.
