If the system was managed for a quality recreational experience and natural abundance via both natural and hatchery production... If the rivers were viewed as fish farms to produce recreation/enjoyment for the people and sustainable food for the land and animals we would have no problems and no need to regulate the resource...


open the hatcheries again,, pump up production with mostly wild brood stock... allow private hatcheries and fish farms both small and large scale.. Like Carcassman said make the goal 10x increase in spawner escapement regardless of origin...

No limits,, no seasons,, no regulation and no commercial fishing as an issue of national security...

Abundant food available for the people for self harvest should be the highest priority...
