A number of sport fishers and guides lobbied hard for a recreational fishery on these fish during the North of Falcon Process. Unfortunately the end result was, as far as I understand it, that all the sports Chinook allocation was used up in other fisheries like the Straits so that no fish were left for a terminal fishery in the Skykomish. The river guys have to make more noise. These are beautiful fish and I hope to have a crack at them some day.
