Due to large returns and not wanting to recycle fish down river so anglers can have another crack at them, WDFW has raised the limit to 6 fish a day.

Now don't think I am in favor of raised limits, just that it clearly shows that Washington is far more active in creating sportfisheries than we can ever hope to be.
Instead we have the Capalaino and Seymour Rivers, once great Summer Run streams, basically devoid of fish. We dam these rivers, suck her life flowing H2O
for our purposes and MOE hides behind SH!T like "we are trying to protect WILD fish.
Clearly these urban streams should be pumped with Summer steelhead and a long standing history of summer steelheading in them could be continued. This could provide recreation for anglers of all ages, and provide something great for youngsters to do during their summer vacation.
We wonder why our youth turn to drugs and crime, perhaps it's the complete disregard for providing them with recreation. No concrete skateboard park can replace the fun and joy this kids would realize slumming the banks of a river with rod and reel.
Rant Over , continue.....
