As an old retired enforcement guy,I agree.

I can almost gurantee you that the licensing folks didm't coordinate this new program with enforcement. It's common knowledge that fish management doesn't check with enforcement. Big flaw in regulatory process.

While we're on the subject of our wonderful WDFW, Where is the result of the Commission investigation? Gosh, I'm certain that there's no politics or skullduggery involved. Could there be?

Nah, Tug. As I said earlier, WDFW and the Commission have "The best people" woprkingf on it. The very best. Just as Indiana Jones or DJT.
