Having fished the Kenai 18 trips over the past 29 years I have a reasonable perspective on the fishery. Today it is no where near the fishery it was when I first started there. There is too much pressure being put on the resource by all user groups. Face it the fishery is a cash cow to the entire penisula. There will be great resistance to change due to $$$$. What we have to avoid is getting to the position of having to save the last fish. Those of us who have seen the reduction in size and available numbers of Puget Sound Chinook know first hand what can happen to any fishery. Sport fishers alone cannot be made to bear the brunt of reductions in opportunity. Commercial interests also need to feel the restrictions. Emergency commercial fishing openers do nothing but create mistrust in the rod and reel community. The fishery managers need to understand that there is no harm in letting extra native fish spawn. We ALLl need to shift our focus from the short term to the long term. Fish first!!!
