Then say to the rec anglers that we (WDFW) are sorry but we couldn't justify opening fishing. Then they will follow that with telling the recs to buy their 2024 licenses and we (WDFW) will see you next year. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.


I agree, even though no legal fishing is allow, I still go for a drive....Wynoochee is PERFECT color and still has Coho, Satsop is fishable and the Chehalis, while high is still perfect for both plunkers and plug/spoon fishers from a boat.....sure would be a nice xmas gift, to be able to finish 2023 on a positive note.

Humptulips, no idea but I'm sure there are Coho...........
