c'mon guys lets do the math,not just pop off with misguided opinions. Lets say there are 6000 wild fish in the system give or take a few. Of that 6000,lets say its a banner year and 1500 of them are caught by cnr fisherman. State stats say mortality is 10%under selective rules (no bait, single barbless), every study on this I've ever seen says its 2or 3%,these studies were done by agencies with one hell of a lot more creditability than wdfw. For the sake of argueing lets say that mortality is 6%. Thats 90 fish dead on the conservative side. You still make escapement and have a fishery to enjoy. Plunker, do you have something against cnr? Have never seen a post from you with anything positive to say about it. Could it be plunking is not as effective under selective rules.
