Much better than 2/1 to 2/15

I agree with Nick and Talent on the enforcement and monitoring issue. Up until Jan 31st there are many, many Puget Sound rivers open to steelheading, including the Skagit and Sauk. If they can afford to monitor and enforce these plethora of rivers right now, why can't they afford it when it will be the ONLY system in PS to monitor?

Back when it was open, Todd and gang fished it from Wed - Sun every week in March and April. That's a lot of days on the river, and I don't recall being checked one single time, ever...on the river, at the takeout, or at camp.
