Forgot to mention our past and current checker out of Forks Tom. Or maybe he's retired to? Don't know his last name, but forgive me for mentioning your passion. Years on the riv. creel checking and laying low, but participating and loving every minute of it. Your the one that has got little recognition for your efforts, but should be the one elevated to WDFW administrator. You have that local knowledge that anyone would respect by being a participant. You would never go there, but that's what needed at the WDFW Steelhead management level to have the understanding to properly manage coast Steelhead. Another 2cents and a couple of old fashioneds speaking.
