So great, they close it down and like magic the numbers go up and we have more fish. I believe they've been doing that on the Nisqually now for at least ten years yet still no fish and no season. Twenty years ago that river was on fire with fish. Doesn't seem to be a polution problem or habitat problem on that river. As one member said on a post, the state now manages the rivers from a wild stand point but does nothing to increase the numbers other than go to a C&R season or cut the season back. If we are going to do something about the run size I think it's time we step in and help mother nature in smolt counts so we can get more fish back on the beds. Fishing in Washington is really starting to suck!
