Honorable Commissioners,

My name is Hans Mak. I am a sportfisher.

Please view the impacts on steelhead as well chinook, while developing direction for Staff.

I believe Staff is overly promoting a commercial method of harvest, no longer viable in the mainstem Columbia River. The mixed stocks, species taken are the remnants of distinct populations, too valuable to be wasted as bycatch.

I believe an allocation of <35% is more than enough to cover the Select Area impacts. This impact level should apply for both species.

Please direct Staff towards recovery of our public resource rather than continuing with the Status Quo.

Regards,
Hans Mak
