The Tribes have been complaining about this for decades. They are the primary terminal fisheries. Everyone else gets a shot at the fish before they do. So any entity fishing in a terminal area is highly dependent an accurate forecast.

But I should also mention that there is the flip side - If there is a low forecast, but it comes in high, the terminal fisheries will reap the benefit since the ocean fishery will have already been greatly restricted, when it might not have been necessary.

So, yes it cuts both ways.......
