I’m sure many of you were tuned in to the virtual town hall last night. Feels like most of us were correct in our expectations regarding opportunity this winter.

I do like that we’re getting a partial December opportunity on the Satsop.

Was interesting to see there won’t be an opportunity on the Skookumchuck for the pile of hatchery fish that end up there, and it was refreshing to hear several callers professionally but sternly express their disappointment in that, especially given the data that an open season would provide.

Was also interesting to see the state and tribes differ on Queets/Clearwater and Quinault. If the margin of error on those rivers is as small as they’re expecting, I’m glad we aren’t allowing a season, especially given the number of days the nets will be in those rivers. Would be nice to see the nets pulled as well though.
