WRO,

We sportsmen in washington do get screwed by the treaties with canda the canadians catch a huge fraction of washington's harvestable chinook and coho.

However, the Washington and Alaska Commericials and tribal fishers benefit immensely. Washington netters get a big portion of the fraser sockeye and the alaskans harvest a bunch of the canadian chinook.

We sportsmen get nothing out of the deal.

Those of you intersted in changing allocations should focus on this issue. Lets let the canadian keep all their sockeye and we'll keep all our washington reared chinook and coho.

It would be nice, but somebody (maybe RFA?) is going to need to step up and learn how to play politics like the big boys if it is to ever come to pass.
