Title: Fishing sign
Post by: Old Man Yager on September 22, 2015, 08:25:21 AM: River Road this morning heading toward Puyallup, and I see they have one of those flashing signs up that says River closed Sun thru Weds. What the heck? People can't read the regs, we got to put up signs to tell people when it's closed? Maybe the tribe puts it out there?

Nailed it! And considering how many down there can't speak a word of English I would guess they can't read it either.
