Todd & Parker,

Yeah, long time. I know, but I don't get out as much as I'd like.

Thanks for the good answers, guys. Yeah, I see that would make the OP rivers just like the Skagit, Stilly, & Sky spring regs, and I can see where that wouldn't be the best arrangement, speaking from a fishing politics perspective, to have all rivers under identical regulations, unless for conservation reasons.

On the other hand, perhaps a Parker restriction would be useful. I'm quite sure he took home a couple summer runs I was going to catch the next day, had they still been there. [insert joke symbol]

Parker, I gotta' disagree about spending a lot of money for a fishing license. Fishing in Washington is still cheap, if you take a look around. I was looking at salmon fishing in Quebec. $50 per day on mediocre water. $100 to $400 per day rod fee on reasonably good rivers. Fly fishing only, and non-residents are required to hire a guide (a provincial guide full employment act). We got it pretty cushy here.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
