fishkisser99, i didn't get the paper yesterday, so let me get this straight: they are saying that they are extending the season for keeping hatchery coho on the north fork until dec. 31st? now, your second point, is what you were saying is that it curently would close on wednesday? is that what you were saying? as far as double checking on this go to the wdfw web page and send them an email, they will respond normally within a day or two. or give a call to the kendal hatchery and ask for Ed, he should be able to fill you in on the current rule changes. hope this helps, shoot i'll have to check into this myself, too. hope this helps you a little, now you've got me all excited!
