Anglers, commercial fishers, and others interested in salmon in Washington can take part in an informal discussion with state and tribal fish managers on April 3.

Sorry but how does an informal discussion[u][/u] suffice after rejecting transparency in the north of falcon negotiations ?

I thought this was an April fools joke...

This is like getting invited to thanks giving dinner but having to sit at the kids table..

There is no need for informal meetings, especially if the situation is as dire as they say it is... the last time they rang the warning bell we had the Coho season shut down, only to see the tribes have a full on Coho fishery... Why the need for secrecy?

Both managers can be transparent tomorrow if they wanted....
Don't settle for anything less than full transparency.
