Solely by those within the WDFW that fish how?...................

I'll venture a guess.

What best available science do you refer to? We're not talking about a summer run fishery where smolts are present by the thousands. And, in my experience and in the experience of those I know, adults are not hooked any deeper than they are using artificials w/single hook.

Don't get me wrong. I am 100% in favor of the moritorium. I spend much if not most of the year fishing selective gear water only water because I prefer the relative solitude. It's the escalation of unnecessary regulation that bothers me.
