To shape the conversation a bit around reality one needs to recognize a couple of things. Tribal share is 50% of those entering WA ST waters and tribal ocean troll is charged to their 50%. Foregone opportunity could almost be impossible to argue in the coastal marine fisheries.

Historically WDFW has always placed priority on ocean marine harvest and in many ways even designed the hatcheries around that concept. A example is Humptulips hatchery which the primary function was to rear substantial number of Coho smolt to expand ocean opportunity. That is why it is located where it is vs upstream, which the local folks advocated, that would have created vastly increased angler opportunity.

Another example is Willapa where the production is all about feeding the ocean marine pool , in particular BC intercept , as nobody with the slightest knowledge would design that hatchery production for terminal purposes. For WDFW terminal harvest is about tribal and non treaty share clean up. This is not a great mystery folks, it is what it is.
