The tribe and WDFW has agreed on a 10% CnR mortality rate. The 25% CNR mortality stat I pulled out of my ass was correctly identified as being too large. Pulling large things out of one's rectum is not something that should be regularly practiced in public unless it's during a White House press conference.

I've also been informed that there should be enough chinook returning to have a season that lasts hopefully all of August.

If you guys want enforcement present during the fishery, write a letter to the Director, and to the Chief of Enforcement. There was significantly more enforcement out last August than the previous couple seasons I've fished it. I'd like to think it was due to public pressure.

Thanks for everyone's input.

Dan, when are we going to fish again? Lets do the Lower C next week.
