I hear a lot of whining from recreational fishers about WDFW mismanaging the fisheries. How are they supposed to manage a particular river system, or any fishery for that matter, without data? The more data the managers have the better it is for the fish. The more data the managers have the better idea they have on stock health and future run sizes. AS far as the Tribes go, by the time your cards are analyized the Tribes will all ready have their fish. Allocation is more of a North of Falcon issue, which needs more recreational participation BTW.

If your not recording you harvest and returning you cards, even if it's an accident, your a poacher.
