Everybody is gonna cut and paste their little snipits of the transcript to defend their position... whatever...

After reading the entire transcript all I have to say is that I would not want to be one of the commisioners faced with that desicion...

You either stop harvest in the hopes that they will continue to stay above escapement
-or-
You are forever labled the commisioner that allowed wild steelhead to fall below the brink of disaster....

To much pressure for me...
