I was pleased to see a VERY SOLID showing from the sportfishing community!
There were not too many empty chairs and I believe WDFW got the message regarding the Skagit/Baker river sockeyes.

In fairness, the WDFW is pushing for more sportfishing opportunity in the Sound and on the Skagit.

However, the in-river recreational fishery for Baker sockeye will be a flop if the Swinomish net the seven days per week that they are requesting.

There are more meetings this week. We're far, far from done.
