"WDFW enforcement personnel said about one in eight anglers on the lower Skagit over the weekend received a citation for fishing regulation violations -- not a great record. Tom Nelson of ESPN Radio 710, quoting state Department of Fish and Wildlife Sgt. Rich Phillips, said the violations included: using two rods in an area not open to more than one, even with a two-rod endorsement; keeping steelhead in a closed area; keeping chinook in a closed area; not immediately recording a kept sockeye; and fishing without a license."
More citations were issued than fish caught.

Wow! Sounds fun! They forgot to mention that most citations were written for anglers using double hooks on a weighted line, very hard to hook a sockeye without a trailer hook , what a joke!. wdfw made some revenue that weekend.
