It doesn't matter what the subject is, be it clams, shrimp, salmon or steelhead. The WDFW does not give a hoot about your fishing rights. You will buy a license almost no matter what. What they really want to do is appear like wise stewards of wildlife to the 90 percent of the people that do not fish. That is why we have to endure, among other things, the big hoopla over the Lake Wa. sockeye counts as they try to go over WDFW's really inflated 350,000 fish escapement rule.
