Elk,

The Dungeness doesn't open till October right? By then the Quil is done. How would your scenario play out? I'm pretty sure that the Quilbillies and all of the other snaggers ALREADY mob the Dungeness.

Why is the perception that entire rivers are being closed? Can you name a river that has been closed due to snagging within the last 10 years? Terminal areas maybe, but the Quil is a unique situation in that the open fishing area is only about a mile long from the salt to the hatchery.

The wardens DO hike the river and conduct "undercover" ticketing operations on the Quil. The reason that the group of them were seen conversing in a school parking lot is probably because there's no fish yet and the mobs haven't arrived.

Last but not least, and this isn't directed at you specifically Elk, but to ALL who've been bashing the Wardens: Give it a freakin' rest! mad mad
