Shows right there that the secret meeting with the Forks City attorney and selected forks area guides got some strings pulled by issuing threats to WDFW. Painfully obvious what's going on there.
We can thank chairman Larry Carpenter and Commissioner Don Mcisaac for that meeting and the lack of transparency about that issue right down to why the season wrap up meeting last year was really canceled. This is a line drawn in the sand by the dept that when push comes to shove they don't give two sh!ts about the stocks longevity, and that pandering to the squeaky wheel(*notice no mention of a guide package either*), acting against current science is going to continue to be the WDFW motto going into the future.
