That might be an option. But I think that you would have to limit drainages. Single rivers would see benefit for sure. But I think to really make an impact closing drainages would be the smartest thing. Consider the Grays Harbor area. Or the Columbia. If we closed the drainage atleast we would be giving the fish the chance to get into the individual rivers. Alot of the fish that are harvested are coming from the salt before they get to the river. The others that get into the river are getting chased around by us and the netters. Maintaining the same catch numbers or even decreasing them at the same time would certainly improve the returns. Closing them for five years at a time would be even safer a bet. I would think anyways.
