OUTTA the ball park.... W-H-E-W ! ! !




Simultaneously, North, Mid and South PS could see a boon in numbers if seasons were allowed. Optimistically speaking of course.


That seems to be a quantum leap in optimism given that P.S. marked selective Chinook fisheries are primarily constrained by impacts.

What are the current impact numbers in the Straits/San Juans and how might those numbers affect inner P.S. fisheries if they were to be shifted to those inner Sound areas?

And I will throw into the mix the potential for increased hatchery production.

And since I don't have a Cray supercomputer the answers are outside my capability (ignoring my personal computer limitations, of course).
