There are a lot of things in the works to try to ensure the MA11 disaster doesn't happen again. The NoF call included almost 4 hours of Q&A and a good chunk of that was discussing MA11.

The impacts right now are separate from August fisheries. It's true though that our blackmouth fisheries are kind of a joke now. A lot of that has to do with the fact that yearling chinook are not being raised at the same level as before. And that has to do with the smolt-adult survival of fish spending more time in Puget Sound is not good.

I did a little math exercise and found it was causing around 2000-2500$ per keeper in the winter season in terms of yearling chinook. Now of course that's all about seals and sealions...

There's no question it used to be better, but 700k coho is still gonna make it pretty easy. And if you couldn't catch a coho last year, you either weren't trying or don't know how to catch salmon.
