Talked to a friend who at least thinks they are in the know plus I saw it on Ifish (so it must be true ;D)  that Sturgeon retention might be a thing of the past next year in the Willy and from Bonni to the ocean. Only a handful of options left if you want an AOTY Sturgeon next year.

Can't say that I'd be too surprised if it's true.  That's where things have been trending.  The part about the Big C is pretty nuts though.

Does that mean catch and release Sturgeon will be banned, too?

There is the potential that retention will go away, but I there should still be c&r.

  In SW Washington ----think Nasselle,Willapa,and Chehalis Rivers.
Life is short---live it tall.

Be kinder than necessary--- everyone is fighting some kind of battle.

Sailors may be struck down at any time, in calm or in storm, but the sea does not do it for hate or spite.
She has no wrath to vent. Nor does she have a hand in kindness to extend.
She is merely there, immense, powerful, and indifferent
