It is my understanding that the ocean Coho fisheries in Washington are selective to protect sensitive Oregon coastal runs of Coho, some of which are close to extinction. My guess is that a relaxing of the rulings put in place to protect those runs has something to do with this. I don't think WDFW would make this decision without regard or council for the protection of those stocks. That would be silly, wouldnt it?
:rolleyes:
