You are being totally disingenuous when you say when you say no additional wild fish hit the gravel Ripley.

How 'bout a little intellectual honesty here.

I already laid out the hidden impacts of gillnets that currently go FAR beyond 0.8%. Out of sight, out of mind. Do you not recognize these phantom impacts that have gone completely unaccounted ever since the springer gillnet fishery was resurrected? The white gillnet impact is probably closer to 8% than it is to 0.8%.... quadruple the entire non-treaty share of impacts.

Even if you failed to acknowledge that very obvious fact, I still can't understand how you would compromise the well being of your precious wild steelhead with your rabid anti-CCA stance. And the best rationale you can come up with for doing so is a meat market harvest mentality of "more for us less for them"? For hatchery turds?

You are WAY smarter than that dude. WAY.
