Part of the conspiracy revolves around last fall's chum run which was overharvested by the commercial netters because the state just sat there with their dick in the dog until the commercial harvest deadline expired. Poor dog salmon.....guess you could say that the state really "screwed the pooch" last year.

So who is held accountable for that mess? My intuition tells me that "somebody" got a serious interdepartmental reaming, but it escaped the public eye for the most part so "somebody" is going to play it safe and keep returning salmonid #'s low for a while. Better safe than sorry, right?
