PETITION FILED ON THE TENKARA ISSUE

http://northwest-tenkara.com/legalize/#more-374

A WDFW hearing on the Tenkara issue is now scheduled for February 14. It is a "telephone closed conference" and the outcome, it seems, will be based primarily upon the specific merits of the petition. I don't think public input will be entertained, however letters to the WDFW could not help but influence a positive decision. Evidently an audio recording of the meeting will be available. Please take a look at the link for more details.
