2003/04 pre-season run-size forecast calling for 4,453 fish, and that the co-managers agreed to a harvest allocation of 1,395 fish for the Hoh tribe and 668 for sport fishers. They knew that with the current non-tribal harvest restrictions a maximum of approximately 15% of the total run or about 668 fish for total non-tribal harvest out of a total harvestable excess of 2,053 might be realized.

Here is the perplexing part of the whole thing. What a pathetic small number of fish your wanting to harvest.... With the Hoh being one of the main rivers on the OP would it be out of line to think that the entire OP probably only gets like 20,000 steelhead total returning ??? if that many ??? Hard to figure out who is the dumbest group you have over there in Washington state... Your completely greedy tribes... your totally ignorant WDFW or the 30 percent or so of sport fisherman who want to put a stick in the spokes of any effort to correct the situation....

If God would have had the Arc built in Washington state and asked for 3 of each kind of critter to be put on it you guys would have figured out a way to eat the third one instead :rolleyes:
