Region 6 staff sent out this reminder for the next NOF Grays Harbor Zoom meeting. Staff also sent out the model that has this years proposals. The problem is they do not work. Chum fail to make escapement and Chinook look OK but the QIN have not provided their 2022 proposal as far as I know. Boiled down where we are is Chum are going to limit commercial fisheries or cause them to change dates. NT are going to use tangle nets to reduce Chinook impacts allowing them to fish earlier but frankly it really goes to pieces quick as the QIN are going to be doing the same thing.

On the REC side from my perspective the two fish bag on runs that have been at 50% of escapement is nuts. Conservation left the building with Elvis as everyone wants to kill fish. So down the road we go!
