Why would anybody bring up an endorsement fee? I'm already paying for a license that gives me VERY little opportunity to keep and kill fish. Living in Whatcom County and fishing mainly the Nooksack River gives me little opportunity to actually catch a fish let alone keep one. I'm absolutely fine and on board with C & R and depending on if the Skagit turns into a zoo fishery or not, I do plan to fish it. However why should I pay even a dime more for the opportunity to fish a river that requires me to release my catch? Open the river and give me some value for the license I'm already paying for!
