The "we" in "We want" is WDFW leadership. Has nothing to do with what the angling community desires.

Also, in the past the entire harvest of Nisqually chum was given to the Tribe. The NI share of the winter chum was shifted to the Fall Chum fishery. That doesn't mean that WDFW couldn't make some fish available. If the wanted to, which they don't.

WDFW is probably also concerned, at least on paper, for incidental catch of steelhead by the recs.
