So, a handful of US commercial trollers get a whack at a portion of one run in one river and the canadians/Alaskans, in return, get to put the f*** to numerous chinook runs in numerous drainages up and down the U.S. west coast?

Seems fair...........NOT!

Terminal fisheries only. But then, that wouldn't be any fun for the commercials would it? Gotta preserve that outdated way of life you know?
