Way back when we both had all of our hair and teeth CM the forecast was really bad so marine and all was closed ( mixed stock ) except one fishery. Terminal Rec was open ( we had a lot of hatchery of about X4 ) then it happened, it was a run not seen in years. Tribe said update so they could fish but state said nope you agreed and we ain't going to change it. So in the agreement since each year a clause was put in it. There will be no in season updates on run size. Before we lost Steve he did shut things down one time but the run was OK it just came in late. That went over like farting in a church.

Places like the Columbia where they can count the fish updates work. Rain driven watersheds not so much because the fish do what fish do, reproduce when conditions are favorable not when we want them to swim in.
