I really like this idea, but as a few have suggested, best make sure nobody that is participating per the "rules" gets made an example of by enforcement first.

I also like salmosalar's idea of hitting up a breakfast joint on the way there. If everyone participating makes a note to buy some sort of tackle from a local retailer and buy a meal at a local restaurant, the economic benefits associated with open sport seasons would be reiterated, yet again. Better yet, some could even book a stay at a local motel for the night before (or after, if you plan to throw back a few while participating). As a rule, no matter what you purchase in the area, mention to the clerk, etc. that you are in town for Occupy Skagit.

I'll keep an eye on the ol' calendar, and if things work out, I may just come out. I have been meaning to get up to the Skagit Valley for years; this seems like a great excuse.
