Salmonbelly- I have no problem whatsoever with them needing to get their eggs. As a matter of fact why don't we just treat it like the summer fishery and leave all these terminal areas closed until the total eggtake is received! My problem is with the lack of communication between different offices in the WDFW and the unwillingness to be progressive in their thinking. The response I got was that this closure was going to happen whether they got their eggtake goal this week or not. That makes no sense...especially if they are specifically stating that it will reopen once the egg goal is achieved. Also, if you have fished the snoqualmie terminal area for many years you know that on a decent fish year their will be new fish showing up all the way through feb. Right now there are probably 150-200 hatchery fish sitting up in the closed section of tokul creek. Why can't someone from the hatchery or WDFW transport these fish and avoid a fishing closure all together. The answer I got was that it usually is not necessary because those fish will back down eventually and go into the hatchery...yes after we lose a couple weeks of prime fishing! Just don't like the precident this sets.
