here in BC we did the same thing on vancouver island a couple of decades ago. Stopped the hatchery plants, closed the rivers and all that has happened is more habitat loss, no young or new anglers, rivers remain partially or completely closed and access loss on those streams that did reopen. Returns are still poor and the only people out there that care about it now are groups called "Streamkeepers".
If you only fish puget sound streams it might be time to sell your gear while it still has some value
