Lake wa and lake sammamish closure

I understand the closure is because an agreement could not be made with the Tribes but has any one with the state said why the closure is for all fishing including pan fish and bass?

WOW,  State of WA politicians in Olympia have always hated anglers and despise having to budget for the activity.  They are more than happy to collect your license money and then not give you the opportunities to use it.   Won't be surprised when the permanent Puget Sound BAN is implemented. 

No ban for the tribes though.

This is nuts! Are they serious? The closed the entire lake of fishing!! 😡😡 is this the time when us anglers protest and sign petitions? If not it needs to be!

The ban includes Lake Union as well. Such a shame as these are my local waters that fish well in the Spring for Bass and cutthroat trout http://nwsportsmanmag.com/headlines/more-bass-water-closed-due-to-puget-sound-salmon-impasse/

They closed the entire Puget Sound too, but the Indians are still netting away

No refund on the license  I just spent 70 bucks on  The dumb thing is fishing for bass and spiny rays would help salmon smolts

Common sense eludes WDFW.

At least looks like all small lakes are still open. But anyway not a good feeling when others are netting salmons by tons and you are not allowed to catch even couple of perches.
