We'll never know about the "wdfw pre-meeting" but my impression was, that the "line in the sand was re-drawn" and IT WAS DEEPER. For 1 who sat "up river" last year, after the cowboys and other had picked off lot's of the hatchery fish, maybe this year will be much better for us.

Still have real concerns for wild salmon on the Wynoochee......10 of 12 years, ecapement has not been met.......I don't see any real chance for a build up......unless "selective fishery methods" are employed. Can't have the historial amount of gill netting and yes even sport fishing, and allow the incidental taking of wild coho by gill netting, and expect the run to build to levels that allow a sport fishery.
