I'm curious to know what affect if any, the lack of fishing in puget sound had on the local economy, specifically revenues generated in Puget sound area tackle stores, marinas and boat launches...

I'm also curious if the lack of opportunity actually generated more spending in terms of longer trips to areas open to salmon and other types of fish.

For me personally, I spent $400 on a new tuna rod, reel and bait on an out of town trip that I would have spent locally on salmon gear and supplies (bait gas, hooks, line) had it been open.
