The least they could do is reopen Area 10.

Agreed, since the fishery largely targets hatchery blackmouth, which we bought with our license fees. The smolts largely clear out in November, let's hope for a reopener or my boat may be for sale.

BTW, quite a few fishers have unfortunately not got the update on this closure....there were a few out front of my place yesterday, and quite a few shore fishers in Agate Pass. I'd hate to see someone get a ticket for this sham closure.
