I had a non fishing friend ask me the other day about what the salmon seasons will be this year. I told him I have no idea from year to year what the seasons will be especially in Puget Sound. I told him that the only thing I can count on every year is that lowland lake fishing will open and close on a certain date (except the year around lakes). WDFW would love to have all the rec anglers go lake fishing for put and take trout and spiny rays. Don't have to deal with the tribes on that fishery. That is why you see WDFW promote lake fishing through out the year. State Bass Week, State Perch Week, putting tagged trout in the lakes for prizes etc... Pathetic.
