Ikiss,

Yes, the ability to manage the Columbia spring chinook run that way is hypothetically possible, but it would ignore the desires of the LCR non-treaty commercial fleet and the LCR recreational fleet. No openings until an in season update based on fish over Bonneville would be very good for the wild fish. As you can see and already know, fish management is as much or more about what people want than it is about what fish need.
