Plenty of injustices for this upcoming season on the coast. I’m surprised there will be no season for hatchery fish on the Skookumchuck. As far as I’m concerned, the hatchery is providing only minimal/no opportunities for anglers, so maybe it should be shut down? It appears to only exist for the purpose of supplementing tribal harvest.

If the forecasted run size on the Queets suggest there should be no season for anglers, then there must not be enough of a margin to justify any fisheries of any sort. Why are there treaty fisheries for 36 days? This is irresponsible fishery resource management.
