My biggest issue this year is that they closed it based on one factor, poor ocean conditions... well guess what, not all Puget Sound salmon go to the ocean, and from what i've witnessed the last couple of years, Puget Sound is home to a huge biomass of bait fish and the resident populations are flourishing in it...


food for thought... even if this was a poor return year and fishing was still open, the fishing pressure takes care of itself in the fact that most weekend warriors wouldn't be catching much if anything at all and would likely quit fishing all together after a couple of skunk outings.
