The Department’s charade of “Public Input” is fast approaching, so we thought we would remind you how important it is to attend these meetings and let WDFW know what an insult it is to ask for our input on rules agreed to in secret meetings! If you aren’t able to attend, send in an email comment. The deadlines for comments are listed below. Email comments to WDFW:  Rules.Coordinator@dfw.wa.gov You can also copy your comments to us, at: OpenNOF@Gmail.com and we will present or read them at the Olympia meeting on the 27th. __Recreational Salmon Fishery Public Hearing Schedule:__ --Puget Sound Freshwater and Saltwater Written comments are due by June 27, 2017 A public hearing will take place on June 27, 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.
