Sorry Smalma - I thought I was 'on topic' here, I'll briefly explain why and get off of your thread....

"The escapement reference point and total exploitation rates were meant to include tribal impacts."

Maybe my understanding of these two statistics is limited but, if the goal is to increase wild fish escapement and improve the health of the runs we as sportfishers can help manage our rivers by actively pursuing legislation to protect wild fish from all threats of death. My post was meant to suggest another consideration when discussing "how we might manage those impacts".

Great post Smalma
