Weather its a little or alot of money. They're still getting paid twice for these fish, which makes it a business. And with 50k surplus coho on the satsop, i could see the state make quite a bit on those numbers. Until i see something from the state to where that money really goes, i dont think anybody will believe otherwise. Its also one thing to have surplus fish if there was a substancal fishing season. Which we didn't get. I did not know that volunteers got paid for their work. If they get paid, its not volunteering. Volunteers do work out of the kindness of their hearts and dont expect a dime in return. The state is there to conserve and help protect and rebound our failing fisheries. If everybody is so hard at work for so long, volunteers and state, why are we still scratching our heads about where our fisheries went what is the future of there runs? Sorry for the gripe but, when we lose more of our in river fisheries every year without logical explanation and all of this money out there that us recs give to the state. We deserve transparent logical answers. The money should go back to the people who buy licenses, you know the people that help fund the raising of those fish.
