Got that one right! The problem was that the last two weeks of Sept are, as staff stated, expensive. Rec catches are high because your not ( normally ) fishing behind the nets. So we fish those weeks we would get fish but loose much of Nov and Dec. Input from many folks in recent years has been that an restricted catch full season, or what can be put together, is better than a short wide open keep fishery. Simple fact is that the cuts in hatchery production means we are a minimum 25K on hatchery adults short from the past driving the encounter / mortality rate on wild Coho way up. So now a days on low wild return years means substantial restrictions and as much as I would like to offer an alternative there are really none that I can think of. If Bingham went back to full production it changes everything but I would not hold my breath on that one.
