"Washington, Oregon and the Columbia River treaty tribes have agreed on a three-year program to reduce non-Indian catches of spring chinook salmon to even out harvest imbalances in 2008 and 2009.

...the non-Indian sport and commercial catch will be subject to at least a 30 percent buffer prior to the spring chinook run update made in early to mid-May.

If the forecast were for 300,000 upper Columbia spring chinook, Washington and Oregon would manage the non-Indian share as if the forecast was 210,000"

Anyone know anything about this!?!?
