The State Takes More Food Away From My Family....

Not to jack the thread but now you fishermen are seeing what we as miners have been fighting with for over 10 years in regards to work times in the rivers with Special Hydraulic Approval Permits to dredge or even pan in the rivers.
i.e. new work times for the creeks on Blewett pass 1 Aug to 28 Feb like anyone can get into any of the creeks in Dec Jan and Feb to run a dredge in the rivers and creeks.
They (WDFW) does NOT use scientific information in making any decisions. Hell there are times they don't even use common sense.

I agree. Mining season is total BS  Except the streams around here are open for like a month in the summer. A month! Really??!!!!
