What has been done or is being done about the Canadian recreational and commercial fishery impact on Salmon returning to the Columbia River that just get hammered on all the way back home?

Just the way it is? Lost cause? Great to be them, sucks to be us? 2cents

Someday, sooner than later perhaps CCA will push to make them more selective as well. Everyone can be seine netters and we can mark 100% of our hatchery fish heading out of the Columbia.

One big problem though after that happens we'll actually get to see how few of wild fish exist in the Big C and tribs. Science is already leaning towards the complications that hatchery fish are putting on the wild fish spawning beds.....
