The challenges WDFW is currently facing in SW Washington is low run-size estimates for the Kalama, Lewis, and Cowlitz Rivers.

I have no doubt they will address this challenge by reducing the bag limits accordingly, on these three rivers (either one fish per day or complete closure). That’s the responsible thing to do when faced with this particular challenge.

Your statement suggests you don’t think WDFW will address this specific challenge.

I disagree. They have shut down this fishery in the past; and, in my view, they will do so again, if warranted. That's the right decision to deal with or mitigate the challenge they're faced with in SW Washington.
