Watching public input before the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission like I have over the years, I’ve heard a lot of stuff, but I can’t recall that any particular comment has ever led me to do a stand-alone story. Until now.

It was committee day for the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission, and members of the various subpanels talked and heard about the Conservation Policy, federal funding concerns, a potential new keeper sturgeon fishery on the Mid-Columbia, and proposed chronic wasting disease regulations, among other things.
