Jeezus, salmon bake...I think you need medication.

Marsha, I guess this needs stating for the hundredth time on this topic...so long as the LCR seasons are set and based on allowable ESA impacts, the exact same amount of ESA fish will die no matter how selective the fishing technique is. The only thing that will change is how many hatchery fish can be harvested while using those ESA impacts.

It's not a "department hack" who says the commercial guys may be able to harvest more fish...it's the very department who has consistently and continually backed the commercial industry on the LCR for more impacts, more allocations, and more fish.

Fish on...
