Hellava idea JD, and I'll sweeten the pot. What say we work out a deal with WDFW to train volunteer samplers, and each sampler gets a fishing trip from one of us as payment? Then all WDFW would be out is supervision and data compilation. Surely they can do that for $120K. And sockeye fishing I can fish 4 easily, and they bite better with more gear in the water anyway, so I'm usually shopping for partners anyhow. Save our tax money, save our fishery, and get some deserving folks a fishing trip - this almost sounds too good to be true I'll contact WDFW directly about it.
