Smalma,

The OP is the only place that wild fish retention is aloud in our state, (I think). So everybody from all over Washington and other places for that matter that want to kill natives come here. They cant do it on the Skagit, Sky, Stilly, Lewis, Kalama, Dungi, Elwa, Stilly nope they come to the OP to do it.

CnR anglers dont have to come to the OP if they dont want to but freezer fillers do.

Since the OP is the only place you can bonk natives there are always gonna be more meat fisherman out here than CnR fisherman.
