Interesting...I've watched the "fish caught numbers" all summer long, Neah Bay, LaPush, Westport, Willapa Bay, and Columbia River. I could see a "shortage problem" starting to show in mid summer and continue forward.

Numbers is the "Coho Quota" were MUCH greater than the numbers of Coho being caught. I'm surprised that there isn't more of ocean areas being reduced, effective immediately......there is a problem, isn't rocket science to see what should be done......grrrrrrr to the politics of fish management.

I also want to comment of the WDFW memo about all the cuts that will happen if the $26 million supplemental isn't approved...… Duh, WDFW needs to find out why the general public has stopped purchasing licenses, license plates, other items. I can think of some right off hand...Columbia River, Willapa Bay, Wynoochee Mitigation....to name a few.

Enjoy any fishing you have now.... days/limits could be numbered. Another example of "pay your money, then start cutting opportunity"..double grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
