Not sure who Roger Wilson or John Weis are, so forgive my ignorance. However, it's disappointing that Wilson isn't more open to changing regulations when new information becomes available. Adherence to process for it's own sake just makes one appear narrow minded and inflexible. If he had advocated for the change, he could have made many people happy, and there is no down side. Those perch will cycle, and probably crash again. We should be able to retain them whenever there is a harvestable surplus.
Decisions should be based on the biology of the resource only. Emergency closures are often made on short notice, and other changes are as well. This summer, for instance, the Washington Fish and Game moved a nice chunk of the Coho quota from Westport to La Push, as the fishing was slow out of Westport. This allowed increased opportunity out of La Push. A flexible, sportsman-minded DWR is very much appreciated.
And this Weis character is way out of touch. John, perch fishermen don't use Sage rods. St. Croix, if you please.
