Good responses Salmo g, you must have had some time on your hands yesterday.

Two things come to mind. First, I would want to occupy Queets right now, not so that I could go yard on those poor beleaguered steelhead with my homemade spinners, but to pressure WDFW (and the feds) to get on the same page regarding escapement numbers, data and a management plan. If the only upside was to get the QIN nets out of the river for a year, then that would be a win.

Second thing, which might be at odds with the first, is that I'm not sure that I (as a rec angler) would be thrilled with the opportunity afforded by a revised management plan.

It's just such a tough spot,
