cfm....i agree with much of what you said...but i have a question...isn't the reason for the large return of coho basically because the canadians aren't pounding on the coho like they used to? if that's the case should the limits really be raised that much? what happens if one year the limit is cranked up then the canadians go fishing the next year and the limit goes to zero? i bet it's still a matter of 'get as much fish up there as possible' while they can because eventually the canadians are gonna start on them again...even if the number of fish going up there is way above the historical average maybe it's a good idea to use the excess to 'seed the river' so to speak ...also...i don't think they pull cwt'd fish out at the hatchery ...gotta double check that...but i think the only cwt fish they keep are ones used in spawning or pond morts....any cwt fish that go upstream are for stream survey guys to get....
