Geoduck, By MSY, I assume you are talking about Maximum Sustained Yield or to put it another way, streams have spawning populations that equal the carrying capacity of that stream. If that is so, then I can find no arguement with your list. You are absolutely correct in that #1 & #2 are the hardest and probably most important. If you think that WSR got people upset, you ain't heard nothing until you try and sell the "no mixed stock" fishery. There are powerful industry and recreational interests that will howl about no salt water fishing. But, if we are serious, and have the will, this prescription will work. Edit - after thinking about it some more, the "no mixed stock" prohibition would not have to eliminate salt water fishing. It would however, create a major change in how we fished the salt water.
