I had heard that they didn't have the money to do creel census on the Chehalis system streams. They have checkers doing creel census all summer on the saltwater areas . There is very little saltwater fishing areas open in the winter (Area 13). Take those people and put some of them checking the rivers in the Harbor. Lots of hatchery steelhead will be surplussed on the Nooch, Skook and Satsop again this year. Region 6 needs to do something for the recs who pay for these fish. Losee needs to do a better job and grow a backbone.

I am friends with a guy who does creel census for steelhead every winter on the Forks streams. There doesn't seem to be any problems there with creels census. I think the animosity and disagreements between WDFW and the QIN is a major problem on the Chehalis and Queets systems.
In Area 11 where I fish for salmon there are creel census checkers and a WDFW test boat fishing all the time. Also a tribal test boat is fishing this same area. The WDFW test boat fishes and gathers data even when the area is closed to sport fishing.

Due to "scheduling difficulties" I did not apply. As much as I enjoy fishing, I don't want to fish 40 hours a week. It might become like work!

Another "shoot from the hip" project that seems to be prevalent, with the changes in management a few years back.

WDFW needs to get back to open "face to face" meetings.......zoom is just not the way to get input from the general public.

the problem with face to face meetings is WDFW isn't the smartest people in the know in the room.

go by zoom they can pick who speaks. and if they dont like whats being said they can just cut them off.

Awesome! Can we expect daily reports for the rivers we can't fish? It'd be great to live through your experience in fishing this year. It'd be interesting hear it from the horses mouth what the numbers are/were without getting the interpretation through wdfw.

It might give us all a better picture, but regardless it looks like they didn't like me enough to earn an interview. I am curious who/how many were hired and what their experience has been though.

Whoever gets the position, has LOTS of things they would be responsible to do, many hours of on water, paper work, etc.

OR

not very much, pretty tough to fish if the river is brown, logs coming down, etc. and it seems that this year has been a "high water year".

You can bet the selection will be based on who you know, not what you know.
