Actually, I think if you read this thread and the other six on the various BB's, you'll find that no one who says habitat is the limiting factor...no one...says we should throw up our hands and do nothing about it.

As a matter of fact, you'll find that everyone who has said that...everyone...says that is exactly where we have to put in some serious work...habitat.

Fixing the current situation by pointing at problems that do not currently exist is a cop out...you keep saying "harvest", but harvest has been all but stopped...now what? Are we done? Do we do nothing else?

There is no "cake and eat it, too", problem...I know you don't like CnR fisheries, but that in no way changes the scientific fact that stocks that are over escapement are in no way harmed by CnR fisheries...if that's what you are alluding to, then you are continuing to bark up the wrong tree.

In all of Puget Sound there is one, single, CnR fishery...it is a 30 day fishery on the Skagit system, which is making escapement, and has done so repeatedly and consistently.

Fish on...
