CARVER SR, RUSSELL L November 29, 2012 LAKETAPPS, WA Comments: Please pass rule#52 HOFFMAN, SUSAN December 12, 2012 LAKEWOOD, WA Comments: PLEASE make this happen.I think this is a much needed proposal as there is limited access to this river and this area gives the fisherman much better access. SIMMS , RICH January 29, 2013 MUKILTEO, WA Comments: I do not support this proposal, unless you change and delete the bait window Sept. 1-Oct. 15. If this intended as a C&R fishery, this window would create a higher mortality rate for wild sea run cutthroat.
