So glad to hear that after 35 years of fishing this water, the gate has been locked, launch reworked to allow boats to launch again, and two leases given to both launch sites. The first group of 5 keys was leased to an Eastern Washington fly fishing lodge. Not offererd to a local group. The second group of 3 keys a local group got. Well at least some locals will reap the benny's.
My problem is why not offer it to the highest bidder, I have max insurance and a Million dollar umbrella. That was the prerequisit....
A grand a key, big money wins again....

Now go on the WDFW site and voice your support for the public process on securing access to these launches, the duck hunting sites are asking thiers to not support any site that does not support duck hunting. Let your voices be heard
