I was just checked by a warden on the Cowlitz and this was brought to my attention, didn't get a ticket but it is kind of BS when you buy a fish Washington package and then they come out with another Washington state $$ grab 3 months before it expires, Its included in the next years fish Washington package so I think I'll just wait to renew and get it then and not have a 3 month time lapse. Sorry about the rant just sick of this state's way of operation, definitely looking for ways to fill pockets with absolutely no return in the fisheries management.
