At this point I don't see any other alternative. Pre season forcasts are not exact science. The only other alternative is terminal fisheries. which would mean no fishing below bonnaville in the main columbia and fishing would be restricted to hatchery area's only on tribs. The fact is the bulk of these fish are hatchery fish and we could have double the amount of hatchery fish and we still would be shut down because of ESA impacts. I am sure the hatcheries above bonneville are going to get there egg take. The issue is how do we limit the ESA impacts to allow for a greater harvest of Hatchery fish. The options I see are selective harvest by commercials and it may be time to switch to barbless hooks and no bait for sportfishers. That should be the discussion. At this point it doesn't matter how many hatchery fish we get back it's all about the numbers of wild fish and what we can do to limit the impacts.
