Ah guys the stock of salmon most at risk is late wild Coho. Dec & Jan native late Coho have driven to the point being non viable in the Satsop and any tide water trib. That it is closed is not only appropriate but long overdo. That fish has been tangled up in the old WDG bit where they planted early Steelhead for tribal harvest but when the early Steelhead plants went away not much was left of the native early part of the Steelhead run.

So the simple answer is that the Steelhead and Late Coho are both in the crapper together and the jig is up folks, all done, finish, kaput! No more BS seasons built around trying to claim letting the runs recover. We made this mess by our actions and the willingness to accept a long draw out harvest scenarios that resulted in the decimation of the fish.

Just plain time to end it and leave the bloody fish alone.
