WAKE UP WDFW !!!(and I sure hope some of you are reading this) If we aren't going to be allowed to fish for them, what's the purpose of producing all those stinkin' hatchery coho?



So there are fishies for the net boys to exploit. Remember, WDFW LIVES by the state mandate that they shall provide commercial fishery opportunities as well as sport.

I think their moniker should be "Come fish Washington.......where no water goes un-netted!"

What a f**king joke!

I remember the runs of 96' and 2000 as being stellar. Tons of fish, minimal netting and abundant opportunity for boaters and bankies. It was those years that molded the Walmart/top foods/Morrison Park fisheries into what it is today.

Think a certain co-manager group had something to say about that? It's clear to me no one in the department sportfishes, much less embraces it.

You just watch......Satsop will barely make program at their hatchery in a forecasted "abundant" coho year and the sporties will eak out the crumbs in the tribs.
