Again, as is often pointed out, the 50:50 is for all harvest in WA. Those GH coho taken in the bay and ocean by recs count against the recs. So long as we have marine mixed stock fisheries, most of the in-river catch will be by the Tribes at a 50:50 sharing.

The only fishery I am aware of where the in-river catch itself was supposed to be 50:50 was steelhead, as essentially nobody fished much in marine waters for them.

Ideally, I suspect, from a WDFW perspective, taking the whole NI share "outside" is preferred as those fisheries generate more money and there are much fewer on the water conflicts.

And, yeah, Rivrguy, taking notes was fun. Especially making sure all the information was there.
