Parker,

You were saying that this fishery is not being over fished. Check out these numbers, you will see we are clearly over fishing the Estuary.

A record number of angler trips are expected this year in the Columbia River estuary, over 23,000 angler trips had been logged in the first 19 days of June. With trips tallying more than 1,000 per day and eight days remaining in the season, the all-time record for June of 27,000 estuary angler trips could easily be topped.
