We're going to have to make sure they get a fair shot at getting their share of hatchery fish...and yeah, it sucks, and yeah, it's not fair that they don't have to change their fishing techniques to help themselves assure that they get their share, but life isn't fair, especially when it comes to comparing the treaty right to the non-treaty privilege.

The most fair thing would be to say "it's not up to us to adjust our fishing to make sure they get their share, when they can adjust their own techniques and make it happen"...but I just don't see it happening that way, it never has before, and we can't "make" them do anything, even while we are beholden to them to make sure they get their fish.

Anyway, catch balancing is just an additional layer of BS on top of the many, many layers of BS that are already piling on all over the "selective fishing" debacle that may be coming our way on the LCR...not controlling nor most important, by any means.

Fish on...
