We're getting what we're willing to be involved in. The policy folks are making some "odd" decisions, for sure.

The sporties are getting the short end but there are a lot of reasons that eventually will get back to just how involved folks want to get and what exactly do they want.

Want wild fish? Less hatcheries. More fish to catch, less wilds. More ocean fishing? Comply with ESA and MMA? Limit/reduce human population? There is a lot going on, it's pretty complex, and there will be winners and losers.

One of the things I think WDFW needs to do is to hold meetings where they will actually model the "desired" fishery. Say the WB folks line out the fishery they want. What kind of run size is needed and what kind of outside fisheries at current runs? We all want something, but there seems to be no effort expended by WDFW to show just what that would involve.
