I got ticketed two years ago on a coastal river that was open for trout but closed to salmon fishing. The F&G officer was hiding in the bushes watching me releas a 20# hen. I caught him out of the corner of my eye and he then aproached me. The area was scheduled to open the next day as it was only a mile from the hatchery, but he forced me into admitting that I was targeting salmon. He was screaming at me and said unless I admitted it we'd go back to his truck and talk about it some more. $150 I could have taken it to the magistrate but it was scheduled for 7:00 pm in Illwaco. I live on Vashon.

Be careful you might catch one on a bad day?
