Dear fish managers,

Pink fishing at Humpy Hollow Area 8-2 in Puget Sound is one of the most anticipated and well attended salmon sport fishery in Puget Sound on odd years.

It does appear that because of certain low abundance mixed with others that not only 8-2 is on the chopping block this year but looking at the past 2015 LOAF there are numerous sport and commercial fisheries throughout the straits and San Juan’s that should be in the same boat.

If any of these fisheries open for some reason this year, then humpy hollow wants some of that home cooking. If it takes more tools than available right now --then they are needed. This is a money maker not only for the local economy, but the department in license sales.

Let’s not write off 8-2 Humpy Hollow if possible, by adding this fishery to the stack of other closures in this area of Puget Sound.
