Rivrguy,

I'm trying to make sense, not make trouble. I don't advocate for a recreational Chinook fishery and believe that recreational fishing should be focused on coho. What good is the NT gillnet fishery? I mean, with the abundance of treaty tribal fisheries in WA to supply the commercial fish markets, what is the point of having NT gillnetting?

I think we should stop raising hatchery Chinook for the simple reason that it creates the illusion, or guise, for targeted Chinook fishing at the expense of remaining wild Chinook. Look at Puget Sound where NT gillnetting of Chinook is a thing of the past. Why should GH be any different?
