Ok then if escapement goals on the Green are met for Chinook Salmon even with the massive gillnet fishery in August, then why does the river close to ALL fishing for Sportsman for Chinook if the escapement goal is met each year?

Answer: Simple the Green river can't meet its escapement goal with both gillnets and rod and reel! Us sportsman haven't been able to fish "that" section on the Green now for almost 20 years now and the excuse was always "low escapement" straight from the Green River biologist.

Escapement being met on Wild Steelhead? Wow several hundred nates is all the Green needs to sustain a healthy stock?
