Drifter WA,

I don't know whose name is on the bank statements, cuz I don't get them. However, if you want to see them, they are public records held either by WDFW, TP, or some combination of public agencies. Give Ron Warren a call and tell him you want to file a Public Disclosure Request regarding the Wynoochee bank account. He should be able to tell you who in the Department to send it to, and if he can't he should know who can tell you without too much run around. It should have earned a few dollars in interest by now.

I don't know if the Wynoochee is formally a test river, only that WDFW has no intentions of stocking hatchery coho or chinook there. Functionally that becomes a "test" of how well natural production does.

NOF is marginally about conservation of salmon. It is mainly about allocating the harvest among all the user groups who each want to kill as many as they possibly can. Because the problem is always the other guy, not me.
