I've been checked on the water out of Edmonds durring silver season and on possesion when it was open for silvers but not kings. They asked to see my license, fish and I had to pull up my gear to show that I was fishing barbless. Saw a guy in a boat near me reach out with a knife and cut his own line when he saw them check my gear, must have figured a ticket for barbs would cost more than putting on a new legal set up. Fish cops saw him cut the line, so when he was checked I noticed they boarded his boat and were on it for awhile. Don't know if he got a ticket for anything.
The enforcement guys have always been very nice and polite with me.
