I am not a guide, and since this year they have chosen no public access. The part that concerns me is, they only leased it to guides. Without the general public having a chance to the lease, since lease as thier direction they chose to go. And secondly, 5 of the 8 keys where leased to fly fishing lodge from eastern washington. Not even offered to the guides or general public that live in the general area.
And at a grand a key, it will follow the same path as the hunting leases.. A game for the few rich and famous..

So the third point is, they are still trying to lease the gravel bar to the State for public access, for next and remaining years, The WDFW published a list of 17 sites they have chosen for lease or purchase, the Nooch 7400 is one of them. All 17 will not get approved, they are taking public comment and openion on each of them.
There are members on hunt washington and refuge gang urging thier members to give positive comment on only those that are geared toward duck hunting. So if you would like to see the 7400 access chosen, you need to post comment in support of on wdfw site.
If it is not one of the chosen ones, next year access will possibly go to the four highest bidders........
