Plunker,

I didn't know that there weren't any hatchery chum in the Skagit, just assumed they were, my mistake. But that makes Rich's point all the more. Why are different run/species being mis-managed differently from river to river?

The whole escapement and harvest thing is kind of wacky and basically debatable whether or not it's working. I believe that favorable ocean conditions recently have let the managers slide and take credit for policies that really aren't working very well.

Guess I better stick to the saltchuck where I know apples from oranges. :rolleyes:
