Whew! I'm out of town for a few days and look what happens to this thread! If I feel that I want to make any comments whatsoever about how asinine it is, then I will later.

For now, I'll just stick to the topic at hand.

CFM,

WAC 232-28-619 is entitled the "Freshwater Exceptions to Statewide Rules"...and included each and every exception to statewide wild steelhead release...and was on the agenda...and was announced months in advance as being on the agenda.

December 5 and 6, 2004, the public had an opportunity to go and testify on the agenda items, and February 6, 2004, the Commission met, considered the agenda items, including WAC 232-28-619, and decided to remove a few of the exceptions to statewide rules under WAC 232-28-619.

Plenty of notice, specific WAC was on the agenda, public testified to it, they made a decision on it.

Fish on...

Todd
