 :yeah:

There's open comment periods year round. But Mykiss needs to be more specific. There isn't a common period now for fishing or big game hunting

I was told by a WDFW there is a comment period on their proposals. Usually after first of the year.

Do not wait for the official comment period to open. If something is bothering you shoot them an email, or two, or three.  :chuckle:  Because what happens when the season setting process and comment period rolls around, and the issue you are concerned about is not on the table? What then? IMO it's better to keep a steady stream of comments rolling in so that they remain aware of the concerns of sportsmen.
