That's what I was referring to last post. The amount of attention I gave to the PENDING REVIEW part is far more than WDFW gave in their "VICTORY!" announcement that a season should occur Feb-April. This very thread highlights how problematic that is. We are a super small subset of anglers, and...

Agreed. WDFW needs to learn how to communicate with anglers. The bulk of this mess would have been avoided if WDFW had simply came out and said something along the lines of "10 year plan is submitted and may take a few months for review". Instead, when they submitted the plan they essentially...

NGO = Not Gonna Open

A very prominent and outspoken fly guide on the OP was just complaining about a lack of monitoring out there. Said he hasn't been checked in 15 trips, and has only been checked 6 times since January 1. This is while doing trips every day, usually with multiple anglers. Granted, he has for a...

Don't forget the press releases praising and taking credit for the opening from the very folks who directly contributed to the rivers being closed. Always enjoy reading those.

Skagit still not being open and this survey being released is not a coincidence

There was a clown on Instagram this fall who was constantly posting pics gripping and grinning holding fish out of the water (mainly around C post). Drove me nuts. He was also the first person I saw complaining about the closure.

You have way too much faith in WDFW.

Latest rumor is Feb 15th 🤞🤞 Yes WDFW made an official announcement in multiple places, and their employees have been on the water answering questions/providing additional information. They were super slow getting the ball rolling and NMFS is dragging their feet. Fun stuff.

Brett Maher loves the XFL

Was told yesterday on the river by a wdfw individual that an official announcement "should come later this week."

Fixed.

....to watch Geno Smith on TV in the playoffs. Let's go!!!!

Yes there is an extra week this year, but Geno set the record for most passing yards by a Seahawks QB in history.

Playoffs and a top 5 pick. Amazing. Go hawks. I'll stand by my statement we aren't talented enough to win it all, but this is one hell of a ride. I'll be the first to admit Geno was awful tonight. Not his best. This was a team win top to bottom. But I'm forever a Geno Smith fan due to this...
