And yes, at 340K, the tribes have gone over.

So at less than 340K they're impact overage only looks worse.

For the record, the NON-treaty impacts consumed in the lower river were officially bought and paid for at a run-size of 280K.

Not holding my breath that WDFW/ODFW will give us a chance to make up the catch imbalance with the tribes.


I'm confused, Francis- the PLANNED non-treaty impacts were bought and paid for at a run size of about 270-280K but I thought the harvest levels the WDFW/ODFW allowed in the lower river brought us to a sport catch impact requiring a run size of about 330K to make it acceptable? If we end up much less than 340K there's still a chance both the sporties and the tribes will share a black eye.
