Hey guys the models with the harvest numbers have been around ( provided by staff ) for a bit. First the QIN do harvest Chehalis Chinook but it is a targeted wild fishery as the marked fish are prodigy of Broodstocking to stabilize the Satsop Chinook. No separation by genetics or run timing. Second it is the marine fisheries in AK and BC that limit terminal harvest by taking as many fish as enter the harbor. The QIN or any other terminal harvester are not the issue as terminal Chinook harvest is not the driver. The idea of wiping out a Chinook stock that I seen a bit back which is mostly native is appalling and how that could be suggested is mind boggling!

The simple fact is a Rec targeted Chinook fishery would blow through the NT share in a few days taking us off the water until late October or later. The NT Comm seasons are set to avoid Chinook and that fishery has the least impact of any harvester.

I am not a fan of nets but one should bone up a bit on numbers before posting up things that are not true.
