The way I see it is when they can clip 95%+ of the smolt going out then they can cut the bonking of the assumed wild fish....

Here's the clip rates for the upcoming returns...

Upper CR Summer Chinook

Brood Year 2005 = 76% ad-clip
Brood Year 2006 = 86% ad-clip

Keith huh


how will this work if the split between the tribes and non-tribals is maybe 10k each, the tribes will catch 10k and the non-tribal commercials will catch 5k, will the sports still get 5k clipped fish plus the release mortality for unclipped fish that we release or will they reduce the 5k to a lower number that includes the release mortality of unclipped fish that would be equal to 5k ?, there`s a possibility that we could and probably will lose fish.
