I saw a list recently put out by WDFW about all the fisheries coming up in hopes of inspiring license sales. Salmon, halibut, rockfish, bass, walleye, OD trout, and so on. Lots of really nice opportunity IF you have access to a boat and an unlimited supply of scopolamine. They are doing a good job of developing some boat-based fisheries. Kokanee comes to mind, and the Lake WA walleye will be killer. To my pea brain, though, there is nothing there I want in on. So, license fees go elsewhere. Is that a joke? What walleye fishery? I thought WDFW/the tribes were trying to eradicate any walleye to protect the "all mighty" sockeye that none of us will ever get to fish for again in Lake Wa? I think they are talking walleye on the dry side of the state. Apparently, guys are coming out from the Midwest because of the excellent walleye fishing on Moses Lake. With the way things have been going we may all be dragging our boats over there some day...

No, there are walleye in Lake WA. Plus Northern Pike have been captured, too.

Back when WDG thought bass were crap they rehabbed a lake to remove the bass so they could plant trout fry. When the bio went back to check a day or so later there were fresh dead bass on the boat launch. Apparently the restocking was done too soon.

I still haven't bought a license. Reading some of the items here is not really getting me motivated. I suppose I will soon enough but the state of things is really depressing.

I haven't purchased a Washington fishing license yet this year and may not. Haven't fished since June in Oregon and cut my trip short. Don't know when I'm fishing again or where.
