If we are going to push the BS scenario around then let’s go to the actual numbers from the gods at WDFW . This year’s projected return numbers for summer king returns to the Wallace hatchery is 7,500 fish. Every year the Wallace gets back 4-5,000 kings easily to the hatchery. And that’s after a full season of fishing from late may to the end of June or early July. The river from (sky) the mouth to the Wallace could be open 7 days a week for the normal season without endangering any wild/native stocks if the rule was to release all unclipped fish. Dang now that wasn’t hard was it ? Close the snoqualmie to Salmon fishing until the fall. About 100% of the boats always fish the river from the mouth to the Wallace anyway. Of course this scenario assumes that the Wallace fish have been clipped ? With the proposed regs now the guys with boats will probably go to the skagit now ? Gee now you have more impact on that river if they close the cowlitz for springers ?
