Want to make sure what production your saying dump. Some hatchery returns are poor but find out why, as ocean harvest drives many of these. Take Chinook, dump it all and the Alaska, BC, ocean fisheries will continue on with a pool that has much greater % of natural spawned fish. Simply put these fisheries will then have much greater impact on the wild runs. The impacts to tribal catch I do not know but I do know what a federal appellate judge once told me. If the state reduces tribal catch for any reason that is not natural then it will be penalized. The last thing to go is tribal fisheries. Non tribal sport & commercial are expendable.

Understood what he was saying..............still did not take it well.

edit here. The judge was a fishing fool.
