Correct I think. The ONLY impact the bay fishery has on the in river sport is the division of catch for the sports by species. It does not really hurt the day to day catch but it can limit sport access by species. Honesty requires that one address the fact that the same could be said for the tide water fishery as it reduces availability in the tribs. So I think your OK in your thoughts there.

The commercial nets your right on. The utilization of different verbiage on the same fish calling one target and the other incidental is BS. A dead fish is a dead fish and removing sports access for one species so the commercials can catch another is BS.

It is not about taking sides in the sports community. This year the proposal we put forward has the most liberal bay fishery set I have memory of. So one more time this is about the NON TREATY impacts with harvest and how they are utilized. I can think of no one that does not want great bay / main stream / trib fishery this year. For the first time in ages the numbers say we can but it is the desire prop the non treaty nets that will impact both by removing Chinook and Chum as incidental getting Coho in the net fishery which will limit all three of the sports fisheries. SO ONE MORE TIME ALL SPORTS ARE IN THE SAME BOAT. We get a viable bay fishery we can get a viable tide water, get a viable tide water you get a viable trib fishery. Like it or not we are locked together.

Ah yes almost forgot. The QIN tribal fishery is a commercial fishery the same as any other and in GH we have TWO commercial fisheries one tribal one non tribal.
