Todd -

The trouble with your example is that for the summer/fall game fish seasons on the Skagit/Sauk and Stillaguamish and its North Fork the fishing is limited with selective gear or fly fishing rules.

However spring off your example have to wonder if the next step for the co-managers would be to ban downriggers during non-Chinook seasons so folks will not intentionally target Chinook by running their gear near the bottom.
