I got mine yesterday. After talking with the wife for a time about whether we should or shouldn't for a good while. We decided to make the wdfw donation. Mainly because our daughter is 3 and she likes going to the lakes and reeling in trout, no to mention the fun she has at the beach clam digging. I'm not happy with the current plans for the salmon seasons and I guess this'll be the first time in a long time time that they aren't my primary focus. But in the end getting the kiddo out and learning was too important to me. Just hope G loomis introduces a high end flounder stick soon so I can look cool chasing sanddabs this year.
