So the tribes and the state signed an agreement to open salmon fishing to rec fishing in PS and its rivers. As a river angler I was not 100% sure on if my local river would be open for Steelhead tomorrow. The press release makes it sound like its coming soon and that we can "make plans to fish" but no dates are really available.
Yes I know we are waiting for NOAA I did more reading on this site before I posted this. And of course the PDF pamphlet you can download shows most PS rivers opening on June 1st. My elderly dad who does not use computers or the internet will not know the rivers are closed. All he see's is the local news talking about the big agreement that was reached and his pamphlet says it opens June 1st. I know there will be people on my local river tomorrow morning fishing, the state fish guy I called said they wont be giving out many tickets as warnings. Also hope they have enough staff to make a difference.
What does this forum think? Are the rules clear enough for the average angler? Keep in mind that most of us watch the topic like hawks. I know some hermit steel-headers that don't even own smart phones.
