This makes me sick. I thought there was a provision in the Boldt decision that allowed states to step in and disallow native netting for conservation purposes.

I've been reluctant to jump on the "WDFW sucks" band wagon in the past but in this case it looks like they have mismanaged themselves into a corner.

I'm not arguing with the closure of the season but to allow native netting is ridiculous. WDFW lacks the balls to do what's right in this situation and they lack the brains and/or the integrity to admit their contributions to this problem.
