I was at the South Bend NOF meeting last week. A total farce, the commercial bashed the WDFW like you can not believe, & then they want favoritism. That is beyond anybody's mentality.

Anyway they (the Willapa netters) bashed the dept so bad that of the 2 hr meeting, we only had 15 min on Grays Harbor, & never rally got around to mention the Chinook retemtion for 2004. After the meeting, I talked to Tim Flint & specifically asked what was going to happen there as far as he knew. He said that there would be a Chinook fishery, but that it would probably only be for 1 fish.
