The fishing pamphlet is a confusing mess, despite all well intentioned attempts by anyone trying to help correct it. Read retired officer Greg Haw's book, Confessions of an urban Game Warden. In it he lists the conflicts in the regulations and his frustration with the department ignoring his much needed suggestions. If a staffer who is not a fish biologist can't get consideration, a non-employee doesn't have a chance. If WDFW continues to fail to act, maybe the next best thing is to go to your legislator to get their attention in a private meeting. Maybe not.

WDFW continues to fail in salmon and steelhead management. I'm SURE that if we only raised our license fees everything would be okey dokey! (Tongue firmly planted in cheek here).
