When was WDFW ever wise?

I've temporarily given up fishing for steelhead for now. Just not worth my time and effort. If I lived a lot closer to the OP/Hoh, I'd happily walk in shoulder-to-shoulder amongst Slamo and his fellow bug chuckers and ground pound some drifts with spoons. If I could, I so would not purchase a license to fish for steelhead in 2022. I fish for salmon in fresh water, so I don't get a choice to exclude steelhead in the cost of my license.
