I think a lot of this discussion unnecessarily focuses on how elimination of gillnets specifically affects the CR springer fishery.

Elimination of gillnets has ramifications that go well beyond spring chinook.

The decision will affect virtually every harvestable stock of finfish migrating thru the lower CR.

Some fisheries will win, some will lose.

There can be no doubt the fish will win.

The CCA is first and foremost a conservation group. They want to conserve fish. The ability to fish for them is also important, but waging an allocation battle is NOT a primary concern.
