Imagine a daytime fishery with selective gear, in which not only will the wild fish be release to head up river, past single or dual barbless hooks and selective tribal nets (under presssure from the feds) but the quota, wont be 5000 fish over the limit. You not only throw back clipped hatchery steelhead going to the Cowlitz and the Deschutes, but you count out the fish over the quota and they go back in the river.

They fish at night, who knows how many fish are grabbed from the nets by seals that are never counted or wild fish that are never released. Selective gear may have advantages in addition to daytime harvest, that would allow better seal control and more emphasis on culling the more active net raiders.
