One could make the argument that as to Steelhead your right on but with salmon not so much. Our weakest Chehalis salmon run is late Coho but Coho are managed as a single stock as are Chinook with our small run of Springers being the exception. Our reduced Chinook returns are due to AK & BC taking about 80% or so of harvestable with prior intercepts on paper for 2022 at 10500 leaving a terminal runsize of 14957. Add to the mix that the QIN and all other managers except WDFW manage to the aggregate of all Grays Harbor streams and do not separate the Humptulips & Chehalis you end up with some strange math.

As I said with Steelhead it would be difficult to argue the fish have been managed into rather dire circumstances. Extinction might be a bit of a reach at the present time but that said the comanagers are certainly headed down that path.
