Good to see an actual formal release from WDFW. This is exactly why I avoid posting rumors. I heard 3 different versions of what was "going to happen".

I think the 3-day a week is a good compromise. At least it works for ME.

I'd support a change to delay the opener until Jan 1 if that was ever presented as an option. Fish would be bigger and we'd deal with the quota issue a month later. Shutting it down in Jan or Feb sure makes July seem far away, especially with no local steelheading.
