Hi, all...

Not having the time, nor the inclination, to write comments on all the issues brought up on this thread, I'll throw one more in the pot...

I believe that the Feb. 28, rather than Mar. 15, closure also takes into consideration that all the other area rivers close on the 28th, creating the potential for a two week high intensity fishery on the Green. A high intensity fishery over an under-escaped population.

Yeah, I know, the Sauk and Skagit are still open...and are now the only open PS rivers (or will be next week). I suspect that there are a few differences, starting with the forecast that they will be above escapement (though not by much), and that there is just a whole lot of river to fish up there.

Fish on...

Todd.
