But in all honesty, when is going to be a good idea to just shut down some rivers totally for a couple years? I know the logistics of shutting down an entire river to fishing for sport/commercial/tribal are pretty bad, but I'd rather see that than a river with no fish in a couple years. I mean hell, if they did close the skagit, the WDFW could make a killing handing out tickets to poachers. And maybe that money could go towards conservation, hatchery programs, etc.
