What a dead zone the Puget Sound area has become in the winter time for fishing opportunities. Closed for blackmouth fishing (except Marine Area 13 which stinks at this time of the year) and the rivers closed for steelhead. But good ole WDFW wants you to buy your 2024 fishing licenses when you don't even know what the seasons will be (other than lake fishing) until the tribes tell WDFW what the seasons will be later.
