the commercials are going to catch every hatchery fish below Bonny? You have got to be kidding me...I have heard the same people who use this argument say the traditional methods fish wheels, weirs, beach seining are no longer effective in a dammed river. The reality is no one really knows for sure, but we do know the staus quo is garbage and something has to change.

Our beloved WDFW have become masters at over predicting fish runs and letting the lower river get out of control before the first few fish have been counted for over Bonny. Most people view this as the WDFW making an error, when the reality is the WDFW first priority is maximum harvest. These folks would rather risk over harvesting ESA listed fish then over escapeing the run.
