What are you getting for your money? 50% of the salmon? 50% or the steelhead? Actually fishing for the hatchery raised salmon in WA or letting them be caught in A BC and Tribal nets?

The Tribes are running WA anadromous fisheries. Why even have an agency that seems to do little or nothing for those who pay the freight?

Note too that the Governor is appointing Commissioners who support non-consumptive use but still fund the agency from license funds rather than General Fund.

Thing away the money won't improve recreational fishing but buying licenses certainly hasn't either. Unfortunately, I tend to fish out of state now as the fishing is better. I get what I pay for.
