Tug 3:

I knew you were LE, you did a good job of answering and not getting pissed by my comments.

I retired in 1997, lived and taught school in Region 6. I remember Dept of Game and WDF......IMO, the Agency has been in a downhill slide since the merge. WDFW had way to many WDF, salmon personnel running the agency. Steelhead management sucked for 25 years, that's part of the reason we are playing "catch up" on wild steelhead...... can't have tribes net steelhead in the amount of rivers and allow them to continue to net on Wild steelhead, and not see the returns have been in a serious decline over the past 25+ years.

Sports were also a problem but we went to release Wild steelhead, so tribes are the "bad guys".

Tug 3..enjoy your days in retirement.....
