Bob, I don't feel that dropping the annual limit below thirty fish would keep the brats out of the system. My neighbor, who is an avid steelheader and volunteers countless hours at numerous hatcheries and the fish collection facility on the North fork Toutle, discussed this situation with me the other day. The WDFW says it can't enforce more or keep the hatcheries going strong due to budget cuts and lack of revenue generation. How about going back to a separate fee for catch record cards? The reason so many people are out there fishing now is they are getting a real bargain in the fishing license. If most of these people had to pay like they used to, they might not fork over the extra dollars for the PRIVILEDGE of catching fish that the rest of us have been and continue to pay for. My opinion. Your thoughts?
