From my prespective if you are concern with wild fish I'm not so sure that is all great of news.

The singled mindness of the co-managers and Puget Sound energy focusing on increasing Baker sockeye has resulted in Baker Chinook and steelhead becoming functionally extinct.

If they are successful in increasing the sockeye run (I believe that folks are hoping for as many as 75,000 returning adult sockeye) there will be a significant issue in how those fish will be caught.

There will be a strong push for tribal in-river gill net fisheries which in itself is not a problem however I have concerns about that fishery as well the recreational fisheries "incidental" impacts on the ESA listed Chinook (both spring and summer), steelhead and bull trout. The timing of a main stem sockeye fishery would be right on top of the upstream migration of the Chinook and bull trout with some over-lap with the winter steelhead as well as the downstream steelhead kelts.
