At what percentage of escapement do we allow a cnr fishery is THE argument against statewide CNR, as I see it. This number, IMHO, has to be 100%. In other words the state is sure a river is going to get ALL the fish back it needs to, to assure perpetuation. CNR on a run that is gettin less then our sad sack figures indicate dosen't work for me. We need to error on the side of the fish. I view the Skagit being open for CNR on a depressed run as a bad thing.
