My email was busy last night after the 3:30 PM yesterday release of the NOF GH meeting tonight information so this.

Yes the model shows combined NT & QIN nets in for 5 days in weeks 42 and 43.

Yes the model shows this results in 1497 below the Chehalis Chinook escapement goal.

Yes the model shows an 1.1 NT Comm harvest rate and yes the GH Policy and the model shows .08 is the required NT Comm impacts.

And finally yes it appears staff have chosen to ignore policy guidelines. Why I do not know but with the changes in Olympia with the departure of Mr. Warren and Mr. Lossee's arrival in Region 6 it appears the GH Policy is now just window dressing.

Last but not least the QIN will net 5 days a week starting 11/5 ( wk 45 ) through wk 53. You upper basin folks are screwed and that is about the best face I can put on it.

Yup it looks like old fashion 1970's management which nearly destroyed the Coho in the 80's.
