To start off. i have lived in the great state of Washington for 7 years and Fished none stop for the last 3 of them . I myself have started to curse the indians. 2 years ago going down in a boat say 22 nets in a 3/4 mile strech some acrossed each other leaveing only about a 7 ft spot of no net in the middle. i felt like a mouse in a maze. Now for the past couple of years they have closed the river in late part of the chum run for the steelie

Catch and release it just make you feel good at the end of the day
