Closure of Washington coast and strait.

I just got an email from WDFW saying that Washington coast and strait are closed to fishing with no specifics on what or exactly where and what is left open. I would post the email but don't know how to

So just a reiterated reminder?

Wow! You wouldn't think angling for bottomfish would endanger steelhead, but the notice does say “all.”

Just a mix up no doubt. Title specifies steelhead. Article is focused entirely on steelhead. Just that one section at the beginning that seems to be mixed up.

How soon are they going to close down all skinny water that dumps in to Puget Sound. And then raise prices on Licenses. You can almost bet that it's coming.

This stuff that the fish and game people are doing is like shutting the barn door after the horses got out, Or listening to the Indians about their 50% of the fish. It should be that if the runs are depleted then the Indians should take less. Instead of all the fish. They shut down the rivers, net the hell out of them and then tell you to quit fishing for Steelhead. Since I moved away your fishing has gone to hell.

They should of started this program about 20 years ago. If they did you probably would have a few fish to catch. As it stands now the people that pay taxes bear the whole program.
