The best thing about this proposal is I hope it motivated many of you to take part in the process rather than pontificate and complain how dumb of a proposal it is. I am curious how many of you actually sent in a proposal? Personally, I am thankful there's public process.

Parker, Dan and others I challenge you tell the commission that we don't need a reg like this, we demand a real reg- statewide wild steelhead release, no exception, like some of you stated. I hope you can sacrifice a bit of self promotion and make it to the hearings, I'll look forward to meeting you.

Sthlhead, I believe that is a very good compromise.

Here's another good reg proposal to debate- Quillayute River Season- close the season on April 15 to provide consistent winter steelhead closures to wild steelhead retention on the north coast.
Instead, how about a real reg that states December, January wild steelhead release. Maybe this will help some to the early returning wild fish that are getting so depressed and maybe save some bio-diversity for the system.

Or how about this proposal to extend the upper Quinault season wild steelhead retention til April 15, Explaination: This proposal provides consistent winter steelhead closures on the north coast to help spread out angling pressure during the wild steelhead retention season. How come you don't seem to have an outrage over that proposal, I guess that isn't has important has a picture.
