I fished the Green a few years ago,at a time when the WDFW opened the river early for silvers. I was among 3-4 guys who knew that the change was made and the info was on the WDFW hotline explaining the details of this change. A WDFW officer RAMBO, swooped in like a Swat team raid from his position in the bushes,actualy a tree. He told us to stop fishing, and put the poles down. After a minute or two of being told that the river was closed until the 15th of October, and we were idiots and blatant violaters of the rules and the tickets were going to be many and costly. I had a fish on the bank as did a guy next to me so I was the first guy to explain that the river had been opened early due to the amount of fish that the tribe had been taking in the nets, thus upgrading the run size to a number that justified the early opening of the lower river. After I was told to shut up and stop telling him how to do his job, the officer made the decision to call the hotline and his office. I think the fact that cars were pulling in to park and fish played a part in his decision to do this. After a few minutes of phone conversation at his truck. Without a word of apology we were all told to go ahead and fish again and in a announcing tone he said The river is now open for coho and all chinook must be released. This statement was made to a now growing group of anglers who were watching the situation unfold with the officer and the suspects. It is appaling to me that a WDFW officer who is in charge of this area can have no clue as to a rule change that was under consideration for over a week, a change that was on the hotline many days before with the instuctions to call daily for the updated info. How can a large number of anglers be more in tune with the rules than a long time WDFW officer? I wont even tell the story of how I have been yelled at and handcuffed twice in one week on the OP for the crime of fishing legal with a special use permit that two different officers had never heard of or seen before and being told that I was a poacher,violater, a@#$#%$#%&&, how dare I, what right do I have, who do I think I am, I should be disgusted with my actions, etc,etc,. Only to be told to go ahead and return to the river, and I am lucky that I did not get arrested for my LEGAL ACTIVITY. PATHETIC....
