That’s what I was thinking. If they shut the tidewater fisheries down, no way they could justify a commercial harvest (although the state could justify anything and claim their “science” backs up their stupid decision)

So it’s Wednesday…a lot of people have been at work for WDFW since Monday. Do they not have access to weather forecasts, river forecasts or even the morning weather on the radio on the way to work? They know the rivers will have PLENTY of water to get fish up the tributaries right? Are they so inept that they are really going to announce an opening like On Sunday for Monday? They could easily put out a release stating that the tribs will open on ___________ (should be Friday/Saturday)

It’ll never cease to amaze me, the amount of idiots that work for this useless department. They (and voters) keep appointing the same people expecting different results. We’ve tried and failed at same policy and programs for the last 30 Years? Things have gotten worse.

Idaho, Oregon and BC (even Alaska) have dramatically changed their policy the last couple years. We just keep shutting down programs that work and trying to save every wild fish. It’s over for 90% of rivers.

Region 6 might be the worst group out of them all…
