Yessir. The article you mention: https://nwsportsmanmag.com/wdfw-urged-to-withdraw-april-hoh-quillayute-steelhead-closures/

No kidding, Skyrise. I'm glad NW Sportsman kept reporting on this issue (three articles I believe?) and we should be lucky there are folks like Bob and the OPGA, and other people that commented on this issue to keep the Montesano Clown College accountable. With each regulation change or closure and ding to guide businesses and our small towns, I wonder how any of us have any fight left. Which of course is what WDFW wants to happen. Just like our fisheries, kill the rec anglers by a thousand cuts.

From what I read and heard, it seems like Region 6 leaders backtracked when pressed about why this rule was being proposed and if it was actually mentioned in any of the NOF public meetings.

The big question then: does this nonsense from WDFW fall under the incompetence column or malfeasance column?
