(Here we go...again. It always winds up here, don't it?)

if the non-treaty take is 40% out of 50% allocated, then we need another 10%. 10/40 means chinook season should be 25% longer, right? But then, consider WDFW has managed to lowered the harvest bar so low over the last 25 years to a point where the Area 10 nontreaty chinook season in Puget Sound was 9 days last year, and 4 days in Area 9.

So 25% more season would add 2.25 days in A-10, and add 1 day in Area 9.

Hardly worth a suit. 125,000 fish over 4 years seems like a worthy battle to pursue, but is another 10 days to fish over 4 years worth it?

It is what it is...sometimes I think about learning to play tennis instead.
