Here's my take on what's best for the Chehalis Basin

1. No conceptive days netting allowed....matter of fact 2 days between would be better.

2, Selective fishery.....tangle net requirement....cowboys and indians.

3. Release all "non-targeted fish".....heck why should non-target fish be allow to be sold for profit????

4. Get WDFW off thier asses....paper fish, pushing...has driven the wild runs to the worse levels in my 40 on the Harbor.

5. Wynoochee mitigation monies need to be spent on increasing wild runs on that river. Most people don't know that 2.4 million sits in an account....and WFDF, doesn't have a plan.....14 years and no plan....duh...WDFW answer is "shut Wynoochee down" for sports. Still the QIN and Cowboys are allowed to fish on these fish in thier netting.

6. I agree with others....restrict the sports fishery in llower river....we all know what's going on........Coho fishery....yea right!!!!!

7. Better monitoring of QIN and cowboy netting.....no reason, it can't be 100%.......computers, cell phones, software....should be "updated" results within 2hrs. of a netting. Personnel just have to want to change the historially poor way of doing things.

8. Probably time for some of the WDFW personnel to get rotated out of Region 6.........

9. Models that WDFW think work........AREN'T......need a plan B but its a S.O.S. (same old xhit) in Region 6.

10. Been hiding behind the "manage for wild", which I like....but then allow a gillnet fishery about 250 - 300+ days a year.....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr and then accountiability is ???????????? who knows what's going on.....sure not the average sportsperson.

Want more??? believe me there is more......
