good points FPN.....I think the answer to the hatchery question is this: The tribes.

The netting schedule does not start until first week of Oct. If the nets were in early more of those fish would be harvested but there would be an even bigger uproar from us sports fishers.

Unfortunately most fisheries are still being managed for the commercial fleet first and us second. The tribes hold the trump cards on all of our fisheries. There is a late run of native Chinook that they will be netting along with the larger Coho yet to come.
