Salmo,
I do agree that the top priority for WDFW is keeping their jobs. It sure isn't looking out for the best interests of the Rec fishermen.

The tribes will get the fish and we will get "opportunity" but just enough that it doesn't effect tribal harvests.

That Flatbrim Pescador guy gets it and understands how things work at the Washington Department of Salmon.

Anybody who has been around long enough and has fished in WA state long enough knows that the tribes control WDFW when it comes to salmonid fishing. It doesn't take a rocket scientist.

WDFW when they hear that a non-tribal fisherman might have caught a fish:

I say we stage a fish-in! The gamies can’t catch all of us at once! We are all in it together. Your either with us or against us! I bet we can get the CCA to help us too.

Well the department finally released the announcement to close for king retention in area 11. Despite being short of the sub legal and wild encounters and plenty of hatchery fish around, it sounds like there was little to no discussion of an in season adjustment for the likely larger run size. Funny how the department always errs on the side of being conservative at the expense of the recreational fishermen while commercial and tribal harvest always seem to exceed their quotas.

What was that, 3 Saturdays it was open? First year since I started fishing it that I didn't pull a king out there.

The short notice pisses me off even more. Just bought some gear and they didn’t even give 24 hours notice!

It’s all good. Lots of fish in the river! We got into them pretty good the other day. Corky and yarn with shrimp scent.
