And hatchery fish can be sorted for any destination or disposition desired.



The more I think about that the more I like it. Outstanding.


Weirs are nothing more than an OUTLAWED commercial harvest method. A SELECTIVE one. If Boater wants weirs, then I suggest he ask WDFW managers to test them in addition to the other methods.

CCA never specified what selective methods they prefer. For all we know... it could be a weir. rofl Then what would boater do?



Wiers are already in use....

The Kalama river is a prime example... They've been using wiers in there for quite some time in the fall.
