There is NO EASY answer but I will say this:

Chehalis river is the only, that I'm aware of, river system that has 3 entities using gillnets and are allowed to net both wild and hatchery salmon.


QIN and Chehalis tribes also gillnet steelhead, both wild and hatchery. Qin send fish caught numbers to WDFW, Chehalis tribe does not send catch numbers to WDFW.


MSY.....should be eliminated from WDFW vocabulary.....clearly used for commercial reasons.....grrrrrrrrr
