Can't see that far into the future, but my wish before my dying day is that the issue of outside mixed-stock harvest gets a SERIOUS challenge from a credible group. CCA represents the catalyst that could one day make our bass-ackward harvest infrastructure on the West Coast a thing of the past.

Imagine the full diversity of chinook life histories once again being expressed in robust populations of returning adults..... 4-, 5-, and even 6-ocean kings making their way back home instead of being plucked off by some troller as an immature feeder fish. Imagine catching a REAL June hog out of the CR.... or a mythical 100 Elwha native. It can be made to happen, but only if we have the resolve to make it so.
