It is important for all those interested to voice their opinions. However, I think it's a funny way to manage fish--who screams loudest. Seems that management strategy led to the decline in chinook populations in the first place.

Based on what we've seen for selective coho fisheries, I do not support selective fisheries for chinook. Until anglers learn to not net fish before determining if it is to be retained, and treat those being released with utmost care, we will just be killing fish to feed the seals. I've seen appalling treatment of fish at Sekui and Neah Bay. Sadly, I don't think that we are ready for selective chinook fisheries.

We salmon fishermen could learn a lot from C & R steelheaders.
