So how do they figure out what stocks are in the river at any time. If I am fishin Cathlamet who's to say what fish I am catching. I know most upriver fish have black faces and bellies but I don't think the young fish checkers are smart enough to figure that out. I just don't see wdfw giving a hoot on what stocks of fish we are catching and not counting them against us. If the gill netters got a bunch of white faced lower trib lookin fish would they get more days to fish because they don't look like upriver stocks? Maybe you mean if the fish are being caught in a trib, then yes of course it won't go against our columbia river impact.
