No shart, Sherlock. Glad you're here to let us know the obvious.

What is NOT obvious is the run timing of this supposed new broodstocking program that no one knows about.

Do you know WHEN they will swim through the Quill?

Seeing how no one seems to know squat over crap about the new program, no one can say now when those fish will return.

Padding the number of hatchery fish that return from Nov-Christmas won't help the tribal harvesting of Sol Duc wild fish from Christmas to now.

Can you personally guarantee that this new program will produce a fish that returns at the same time at the current run of early Sol Duc fish?

No.

Can anyone else now? No.

Keep in mind the track record of past WDFW programs and the tribes....

Keep this all in mind when all the best plans go to hell and in the end, the tribe just nets the remaining Sol Duc wild fish to extinction.

Enjoy those new bananas you so crave and wished for because I sure as hell don't see "recovery" to the Sol Doc early run now. Dreams do come true.....

Book it.

PS. In Parker's Perfect World, Snider is shut down along with any future broodstocking program on the OP, tribal gill netting is shutdown and replaced with traps, weirs or other fishing methods that will select for hatchery/wild fish, mandatory C&R on all wild steelhead state wide, and guides are restricted by a limited entry, as well as highly regulated 40 hours max on the water per week. Just to be fair on all side, fishing from a boat is prohibited on all OP rivers.
