It has been my understanding that the SE Alaska Chinook fisheries generally hammer fish bound for BC and that BC generally hammers fish bound for the SUS.

If that is generally the way it is relative to the SRKW primary food source I wonder to what extent NOAA/NMFS can wield the ESA club to protect Chinook bound for BC rather than SUS.

As for Barry Thom's recent letter to WDFW he seems to have finally emerged only to focus on the crappy, picked over low hanging fruit while ignoring the bright, shiny fruit at the top of the tree.
