FISHING: Fair
The Sky continues to be low and clear and fishing is generally slow. The recent rain brought the river up slightly and a very few fish were reported taken swinging flies in the surface.
I would recommend fishing early and late and using smaller buggy looking flies.
DO YOUR PART FOR WILD STEELHEAD!!!
On Saturday, August 28th, the WA Fish and Wildlife Commission will have a public hearing on the recent moratorium on retention of wild steelhead in Washington waters.
Since the moratorium was issued there has been considerable pressure to return the regulations to a limited catch and kill fishery and the commission's purpose for the 8/28 hearing is to hear the public speak out on this issue.
We have spoken with the Wild Steelhead Coalition and they have informed us that written testimony is weighed as heavily as oral testimony. What does this mean to you? If you can take 5 minutes and draft a short letter to the Commission showing your support for the moratorium, that would be greatly appreciated by all of us who love to fish for steelhead.
The address to send your letter to is:
Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission
600 Capitol Way North
Olympia, WA 98501-1091
A short letter sent via mail has more impact than Email or a form letter signed by many. So if you support catch and release of wild fish, let your thoughts be known to the commission before August 26th, 2004. Thanks for your consideration.
