It's good they are looking after the resource! Maybe with all this rain we'll get a push of fish to reopen these areas, I'm not counting on it though. I don't fish the hatchery zones anyway...
Go WDFW, I really don't say that often so I am shocked it just came out of my mouth.
I don't know about the date....... As I just got kicked out of one of those closure areas and the signs the agent was putting up said effective 1-2-3 . What really is upsetting is I had just let one go! Thinking I was into them!
