I feel really bad for you guys, if I lived in WA I would be going through the same thought process and withdrawals.

Maybe plan some get get away fishing trips?

I do fish for fish other than salmon. I do bottomfish. I also like fishing for bass and even trout. When I'm doing those I certainly enjoy them...but the truth is I am doing it because I can't go salmon fishing that day.

I've actually thought about moving, but I really love where I live. When I'm allowed to fish, there's actually no place in the world I'd rather be.
