Why on earth do you guys continually attempt to tell me what I'm saying? Quite trying to put your own spin on my posts. It's BS when Todd does it, it's BS when Smalma does it, and now it's BS that you did it.
Please note that I had a question mark at the end. I'm asking for clarification, not telling you what you said. From the statement you made it was ambiguous as to what you were saying you though. The statement you made was we need to get to the heart of the matter. You didn't state what your belief was, just something that was left to the reader to interpret.
While this is a heated thread, I'm not out to try to piss anyone off, just understand what the heck is going on. Obviously you've got your opinions, but at this point, I'm not quite clear as to what you are suggesting.....
Case in point, fishing in international waters is a wild west kind of proposition, and enforcement would be ridiculous to manage. Do you have any good inexpensive ideas on how to deal with it? I don't....
In respect to the ocean issue, we know that it has something to do with a warm/cold cycle, and we are starting to understand that hatchery fish may actually have an adverse affect on ocean survial (both for wild and hatchery returns).
Actually, we don't REALLY know that at all. There are hundreds, maybe thousands of interactions happening out there and a break in just one small chain can be having this impact.
Yes, total agreement.... Getting more data is going to help....
Finally, can we at least agree on what we are talking about? At this point here are the major things that I would like to say bound this discussion.
1) We are talking about PS rivers
2) Harvest of wild PS rivers is minimal (not zero as is ideal, but close)
