Let's see. Bolster the sockeye population so you can sustain a wall of commercial tribal and non-tribal nets from Edmonds to Kingston, from late June to early August.

Sports will get what's left of the non-treaty quota after the Muckleshoots finish in Lake Washington.

Those commercial nets targeting sockeye in Puget Sound will be harvesting all the salmon (coho & chinook) by-catch they can - resulting in fewer salmon in the south Sound for sports.

If you think the non-tribal netters aren't wetting their lips over this one you're mistaken. Ask them & ask the WDFW if they'll ban non-treaty commercial nets on the sockeye.

Sorry - hatchery sounds nice, but sports will take this one in the shorts too by the time it's all over.
