Skydriftin',

I don't think Smalma was saying that they didn't decide to do it just now, or tried to keep us in the dark until right now.

The regs call for it to be open in March and April, and to close it WDFW needs to use the "emergency rule" process.

Emergency rules only last for 120 days, max, so they had to wait until the 120 days would cover the entire months of March and April to enact the rule.

I guess they could have told us 14 days ago, but that wouldn't have made that much of a difference.

As you noted, we all knew it wasn't going to be open, anyway.

Fish on...

Todd.

P.S. How's fishing been lately? I hooked three on the Snoqualmie yesterday...maybe we could get out before the closure?
