They haven’t officially announced a decision, but yeah…it’s probably in that for sure 99% chance we won’t have a season. Not even the skookumchuck…where there aren’t any wild fish left. Even the rivers on the coast they keep open will only be open a max of 3 days a week and probably no bait/scent, barbless hooks and probably no fishing from a boat. The whole commission or whatever minus Bob Kratzer are pretty much all fly chucking elitists who want hatchery fish gone.

They say they are having a hard time getting hatchery fish back…yeah that’s what happens when a river used to have 400,000+ fish out in it and only has 70,000 now. It’s not the time to be making more hatchery cuts…

They are concerned about something that on most rivers, simply doesn’t exist anymore. Some rivers still have an actually wild run (even though most of those probably have stray “evil” hatchery fish genetics mixed in), but most are hatchery fish, especially through January. Most of the wild stocks don’t show up until February/March on a lot of these rivers.
