CFM,

Fishing must really be bad. You keep having one wild hair after another this season. As other posters mentioned, this regulation is not unique; several smaller Puget Sound rivers have the same regulation. Frankly, I'm not sure why you have such a problem with it. Fishing from a boat on small streams would promote conflict between boat and bank anglers, given that it already happens on a lot of medium sized and large rivers. Also, fishing from a boat would have you right on top of the fish you're after in many cases. Lastly, have you noticed the absence of launching sites there? But you know me. I just carry in my canoe or rubber ducky and put in wherever and get out to wade and fish the better looking spots. Wanna' go in the canoe sometime?

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
