At a tackle shop in Aberdeen, I was told to be very carefull of how you're fishing on the Humptulips when the river has been closed for Kings. As the last few years they have had restrictions on when/if you could keep them. I was told that they were enforcing this very closely and giving tickets to people who were obviously fishing for kings -whether or not they were releasing them. He told me if they saw you fishing with one or more of the following you had a very good chance of getting a ticket: large qwick-fish, heavier line,large hooks and/or stout pole etc. they knew what your intent was. He said they had given out quite a few tickets on one or more of these reasons and that people were really upset over it but it was obvious what they were targeting and it wasn't the 8lbs silvers that the river was open for. I have been told that they are going to be out early this year to enforce this hoping the word gets out - so be warned because they supposedly won't.
