We need to be thinking outside the box for a real solution where everybody has an opportunity without an advantage and the fish and environment win also...

Commercial interests especially in the terminal areas and in the feeding grounds is contrary to natural abundance and not sustainable over the long or short term... Money is the problem,,, the fish are viewed as property for profit above national security and overall health and welfare of all sectors... We just have to stop nearly all commercial fishing for the purpose of profit... Anything do do with Salmon or Steelhead outside of gear/boats needs to be non profit and necessarily tax free... Participation in the resource,, from harvest to management must happened on a volunteer basis and Hatcheries production/wild production, overall maximum abundance must be the goal with maximum harvest opportunity/participation for the purpose of substance and recreation...

The people need to realize that the opportunity belongs to them at their discretion...
