I think this hits the nail on the head. Instead of allowing the upper river to become the private playground of a select few, if the public doesn't have access to that stretch of river the WDFW should just close it to fishing.

My tax and license dollars shouldn't be used to subsidize the fisheries of private entities to the exclusion of the public.
