I love Salmo's take. Couldn't agree more, and it looks a lot like justice. Uh-oh...

Trouble is that most of the commercial fishers in AK call Washington ports home. That means Washington stakeholders are capturing the majority of Washington fish when they get captured in AK. Then, they fish over them again off the coast of Washington, where ocean rec anglers mop up most of what's left.

As for what gets caught off BC, there's not much we can do about that.

Anyway, I'll be shocked (in a most delightful way) if freshwater fisheries don't take the brunt of the cuts and restrictions. What's best for its largest stakeholder has never driven decisions at WDFW. Why would that change now, when commercial stakeholders will be screaming more loudly than ever at their legislators?
