i didn't say it makes sense to keep people off the water, i said it makes sense to me since the green is such a small river (anywhere from the dam to tidewater you can easily cast from the bank to the other side). you do not need a boat to fish this river. there is tons of public bank access and i also have access across private land (and i am not the only one with permission to do this).


why do i think that the regs on the green are similar to the Willipa?...

from the regs for the green...
"Fishing from any floating device prohibited November 1 - February 28" (ending March 15 on the upper river)

from the regs for the willipa...
"Fishing from any floating device prohibited November 1 - March 31"

i would call that similar.


i will remind everyone again...you can still float the river if you want, you just have to get out to fish.
