Did anyone else get this response?


Dear Mr. Davis:

Thank you for your recent communication to the Washington Department of
Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) Director Jeff Koenings, Senator McAuliffe, and
Representatives O'Brien and Edwards regarding funding the Lake
Washington Sockeye season. Director Koenings has reviewed your
correspondence and asked me to respond.

This is a very popular fishery that takes place when the sockeye run is
of sufficient size, and a harvestable run is expected this year. WDFW
has requested that the Legislature allocate funds to monitor the
anticipated fishery this year. This subject will be addressed by the
Legislature during this 2004 Legislative Session, and we are hoping for a
favorable decision.

We appreciate citizens like you who take the time to write letters of
support. Thank you for your interest in Washington's fishery.

Sincerely,


Lew Atkins
Assistant Director
Fish Program
