You can't put enough lipstick on that pig to make it look like anything other than a diseased porker rolling in its own waste.

Fish on...

This fishery is quite the circle jerk. These fish, ostensibly, are mitigation for the upper fork's water and land use. Tacoma City Light owns the Cushman project, controls the flows for flood management?. We, fishing license holders, fund the state hatchery to provide fish to Canada(for Alaskan take of thier fishes), tribal catch, and then we get the leftovers.

Long Live the Kings had a project up the Canal at Lilliwaup to show WDFW a viable alternative to preseve wild stocks.
DFW was to busy getting worked up over numbers; just clueless or intentional? Intoxicated by number they were. Greedy, they get what they've become.

I grew up fishing the estuary in the early seventies. DFW traded sportfishing for commercial harvest in the latter years. :sad:
