Where were you fishing? I didn't see any other WA plates. I got 2 and went home early. A warden stopped as I was leaving. He was surprised when I told him I had caught 2 fish. I guess the locals are having a tough time. Here's one of mine.

I was in the same area. I've never gone in to Wilson as there are always so many cars parked there and I like to avoid the crowds. I fished above & below there yesterday.This may have been my last trip. I might make a quick afternoon trip Mon. or Tues. after work.
