One other point to remember here is that WDFW is not the only agency or group responsible for fisheries decisions here in Washington. I haven't seen the lawsuit and I am opposed to it. That is because I think suing WDFW is absolutely counterproductive and also makes an endrun around some other culprits:

The Fish and Wildlife Commission for one makes alot of questionable decisions in favor of commercial harvest (nets)

National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) who has authority over ESA and is also caving to the tribes (nets)

Gary Locke who appoints the commissioners and hired Curt Smitch as his fishing czar (nets)

Legislature in general who are basically not informed with a few exceptions like Bob Oke and Jim Buck. These guys pass the laws tht favor commercial harvest (nets).

So I know WT has picked a target ,WDFW, maybe because they are the weakest in court I don't know. I hope they spend some of their energy on some of these other villians too.

When election time comes , if you want to save wild fish vote the Gary Locke gang OUT OF OFFICE....Write you legislators.
