The only problem with selective harvest is that the Columbia River steelhead and spring chinook will get raped (even more so) before they ever return to their natal areas -- in Idaho. Don't forget that 4 out of 7 spring chinook entering the Columbia are destined for Idaho. Most summer steelhead entering the Columbia are destined for Idaho as well.

I'm against it purely for the reason that Idaho fisherman, who have partly funded the slaughter in the lower Columbia, will continue to get the shaft when it comes to harvest shares. I hate to use wild chinook and steelhead destined for my state as a political tool, but it's the price that has to be paid until harvest is severely limited on the Columbia for summer steelhead and spring chinook.

The best option would be to continue the battle to ban commercial fishing of all types (other than tribal) on the Columbia and other PNW rivers.
