Sorry for the lack of response guys. I had some things going on and did not get on the site last week. As to where this release came from ---someone listed a contact from the state last year in which you could request all the tribal notifications. I signed up and try to take a look at anything strange that pops up, but there are so many notifications it can be hard. I recommend doing this as it will give you a good idea of what is going on. Its where I picked up Nisqually opening this year, along with the recent plans to harvest squid. It also was interesting in 2016 as there were private reports the Nisqually tribe was netting, but no opening was announced or noted in the regs. I sent out some emails to the tribe and to the state on a Friday morning and, while I never got a response, the two sides printed out an immediate emergency opening that afternoon for both sides.

Again, I highly recommend any one that spends anytime looking into what is going on or spends a lot of time on the river to sign up for the releases. It can reveal some interesting information at times.
