I doubt there is enough staff to not only post the closures but to take them down when it changes.

Plus, WDFW tries (at least used to) to keep waters open for something. The pamphlet is so thick and complicated because they are trying to maximize the chance to fish. Since most of PS and its tributaries have some sort of ESA-listed fish the easiest thing to do is close it all down. Open only of there are no listed fish in that water.

Makes the pamphlet pretty small, saves a lot on printing costs too.

Writing regs is not easy. Or should I say writings regs that are enforceable, offer opportunity, offer needed protections, and are easily understood by the public are hard to write.
