After a reread of my post this. Doc's thoughts on harvest are right on and in many ways most important. Salmon need access to good habitat to prosper and what many miss is in the PNW good habitat needs salmon! They by the act of returning and dying are the fertilizer that powers and ecosystem that a huge number of creatures depend on. I am reminded what Harry Senn once taught me by a simple question. What is the most valuable fish to a watershed ? I said Coho and nope not a chance! It is the lowly Chum that takes almost nothing from the watershed and by returning and spawning and dying provide nutrients on a scale no other can match !
