Since 2003 I fished steelhead about once every other year, and I only do it when I visit my in laws in forks. I would not even waste the money to go out there just to fish. Way to many people since the Puget Sound Closures on an already supper stressed fishery.

I got to see it from all sides working for the tribe from 1999 to 2003 and spending all my free time fishing.

from 1984 to 1999 me and my dad would make around a dozen trips a year out there mostly to fish the upper Bogie and Goodman Creek, sometimes the Hoh or Sol Duc.

Honestly it probably should close to all User Groups, let the tribes fish for subsistence, (food only), but no gill nets, some alternative methods. Definitely no commercial sale whatsoever should be legal for anybody.

It is really sad that honestly it is over.
