IMHO you shouldn't have to have a license to fish for invasive species...

Like bass and walleye?



You could say that even though they're not considered "invasive", but yeah them too, honestly.
I'd catch them by the dozens in the mid Columbia all the time so they're plentiful.
If WDFW wants to promote salmon recovery then i see no reason for them to put fishing for non-native species, that do in fact prey on salmon smolt, behind a paywall.
If your fishing with a pole you should have a license and provide it to a gamey.  Illegal immigrants should no be able to say they are fishing for invasive species and tell the officers to buzz off.
The only issue with the new rules would be bowhunters for carp as previously stated.

This. If I'm on at Potholes dragging around a Lindy Rig and a worm, am I fishing for carp? Perch? Walleyes? Bass?

A Lindy Rig.  That's funny.  If I didn't know already, I could narrow down your origin to probably 2 states.

I'm guessing you've caught most/ all of those species on one.

You see it here with some of the less intelligent and stable types.

I think I've caught every species of fish in Wisconsin on one.  My Grandpa John was the Lord of the Lindy Rig if not something similar.  Greatest walleye and northern/musky fisherman I have ever known.  Wish we had cell phone cameras in the late 60s and 70s.  Never had cameras handy it seems.

But on topic, I could see an endorsement for smelt.  Wish we'd have been reigned in on Lake Michigan in the late 70s and 80s.  Maybe some would be left.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice
