can't understand the goofy 2 week closure on the humptulips, then opening up the upper river with no bait for 2 weeks before the "general opener".

if they're wanting to protect the early kings in there, might as well close it down totally until october 1st, or close it for chinook retention. in my experience they'll hit artificials(jigs, spinners) better than the silvers in that low water...and if they're concerned about poaching in early september, the only ways is going to be more enforcement.

the guys that put a big dent in the salmon populations on all the lower GH tribs(wishkah, east hoquiam, hump etc) generally think that owning riverfront property exempts one from all rules and regulations...
