The official forecast numbers have yet to be released, but rumor has it there could be expanded opportunities in 2009 compared to 2008 for several things on this collective wish list.

The O'Leahry Creek line was the brainchild of WDFW... a one-time measure for additional chinook conservation. It did NOT work. Staff has been made aware of the ill-will this caused in the recreational fleet and the lack of any meaningful reduction in chinook exploitation beyond what "no chinook retention" already provided.

Restoring the ENTIRE fishing area is definitely on the wish list.
