As awsome as this sounds, just think about the crowds and the sleds buzzing back and forth. I think its great that we possibly have an oppurtunity to fish for these great fish, BUT i think when you calculate all the pressure, less fish will be caught.

If the Skagit, Main Stilly, and a couple other rivers where also open, than it would spread out the pressure and offer a great summer run/king fishery for everyone.

I dont see how this adds up guys. Turning the Sky into a Zoo during summer run time would just plain suck.

2000-2200 extra kings is an incredible increase from just a few years ago!! Hey, something is going right =)

P.S. What about a bank fishing only June/July, to keep the river from becoming a freeway. I can picture Cracker Bar now with 20-30 boats on a saturday lined up along the dike =/
