The e-regs have not been updated yet:

Right.  Low return aka no return to the Stilly last year so they close it. There are still a few pinks even on even number years.

Yes, that’s what I said…  but there are always a few around even on even years. And there are pink runs that spawn in even number years too. Some of them don’t even go to the rivers to spawn. 

This is why 8-2 was closed to pink harvest last year. Low return numbers. It’s a technicality more than anything. When the e-Regs update 7/1, they’ll show this years rules.

Too bad they don't have sonar counting on the Stilly like the Kenai, it's hard to imagine the mess of fish right out from Mukilteo are almost exclusively going to the Skagit.

With the tickets they will write in 8-2 this year, they could probably put one in.

It wasn’t closed for pinks last year. Just chinook and chums.

New eregs are up, closed for pinks this year.

Both sets of eregs are up on the wdfw website since the old regs are still live, but the new regs kick in Tuesday.

This is what I get for basing my assumption of the rules off the posts in here instead of looking for myself.
