How many realize that there were more than enough fish last year to support a two week plus fishery? While at the Sportsman's Show I was talking to a WDFW agent who was telling me about the numbers last year. There were Sockeye running all the way into Dec. So many fish that there was no room for them to spawn in the rivers.. The last fishery that we got a 3day fishery had enough of a run to support a 12 to 14 day fishery... The WDFW agent stated that he was not sure he should talk about this however he had heard someone else mention it....

grandpa has hit the nail on the head.. We have and do pay in More than enough to support the department and enforcement. However they have to pay so much out to the general fund.. It sounds like it may be time for another dedicated fund allocation. Kinda like the warmwater fisheries fund..
