Are we all really that naive at what Boater, Todd and Freespool are trying to say??

Sure you can accuse them of being gillnet huggers but think about what they are saying....

You force the commercial fisherman to be "more" selective than sport anglers with hook/line having them use seine nets, fish wheels or whatever it may be then they are going to get a larger take of the "hatchery" fish that are supplied for harvest........ There's nothing written in this plan that caps the amount of hatchery fish the commercials will take with the new plan....

The 2% mortality for Spring Chinook doesn't change so the same # of wild springers die just giving up more hatchery fish to the competition due to a more selective method... It doesn't mean more wild fish hit the redds.... Unless CCA beleives the seine nets will have less than a 1% mortality rate on the wild springers and the 2% mortality just goes away?? Then the sport anglers become the bad guys with their 8-10% mortality rate with hook and line?

I'm still lost, care to clue me in.......
