Cool. I'll check with our shellfish staff regarding the online catch reporting system. Maybe it is something we can do for salmon. Anything to get those numbers sooner.

I'm sorry you aren't willing to accept the fact that we work hard to document all catch of salmon. If this is merely a matter of faith and belief, then we have no basis for further conversation on the subject. If you have suggestions for how catch can be better documented, I' m all ears. The goal is for all catch of all salmon and steelhead to be reported on fish tickets.

Regarding bycatch and selective fisheries, that's another source of frustration. When fish are kept they can be counted. When they are released, we have a hard time estimating the mortality, not to mention the number of fish encountered and released. What suggestions do you have there.
