"Once again the PS region hasn't had any wild harvest for quite some time. In the case of the C&R season on the Skagit/Sauk, it's about extending the sport fishing season to benefit the largest possible numbers of anglers."

This was already noted, and ignored, several times before...the only stream with any targeted wild fish fishery at all in Puget Sound is the Sauk/Skagit season from March 15 to April 30, and the only reason it is still open is that the system consistently makes escapement.

If it, too, were to fall as low as the others, or anywhere near that low, that CnR season would also be closed.

Like I said...it's not the legitimacy of the fishery (clearly legit), or the health of the fish (healthy, and unaffected by the CnR season)...it's the folks who participate in it that has Aunty's panties bunched up.

Fish on...
