My personal take on it is that it will not be that big of a deal, in the long run, as it will extend the moratorium another month, too, and it makes sense to not implement rules like this mid-season, when it's only a month to the end of the season.

Fish on...

**edit** It would be interesting, though, if just like last year, the run size was big enough to make escapement, but the combined tribal and sport harvest pushed the run below escapement. Especially interesting if it is below escapement by, say, 100 fish, but another 150 get harvested in April. Wouldn't surprise me if something like that happened, since it's already being purposely managed to overharvest AGAIN this year.**
