Not sure what else could have been done Bob. We had a NT share of only 550 W Chinook and 6,000 W Coho that had to go from Sept to Dec. The GH Policy defines the NT sharing which really came down to go all in early and loosing the vast majority of inland Nov & Dec. Feedback has been consistently that folks would rather have a full season, Sept to Dec, than harvest ourselves off the water in the late summer months. We do not have the hatchery Coho production numbers that reduced the encounter rate and mortality on the wild Coho that we used to. It is a numbers game.
