Bodysurf-
I think everyone is in agreement that the rains of late August early September had alot to do with the amount of fish in this system right now. In years the fish were present this early, just not the numbers like we have right now. The problem I see is that the WDFW shuts down a river overnight with the snap of the fingers when we don't have the numbers. So why can we not have an overnight opener? Okay maybe overnight is drastic, but you get the point. NOTHING would have hurt to have this fishery all open 9/1. I am glad that a good majority of the early kings pushed through the system with little to no pressure. But if we had harvestable numbers of kings in the beggining, then why not start at the beggining? Makes sense to me. I like fishing kings when the numbers are up to par. Nothing like the slam of a wrapped kwiky, or the brute strenght of these pigs. I would rather have a 10lb silver or a steely for the BBQ anyday. Fishcounter, can you help me out by informing me of some stuff of the stuff that we need to pursue to support/make these changes? I figured you might have some knowledge on the subject.

Thanks-
