Demanding proof that a DAMAGED and UNHEALTHY run is in fact healthy before allowing any fishing is logical. My guide business is completely irrelevant to the topic being discussed and healthy numbers of fish on the beds are more important to me then a season on them. You ask me, "If you disagree with this, please describe how sport fishing on chum or other species can occur while having proof that the run is healthy." Here is your answer and it's simple...We have already proven that the run is unhealthy based on the last 5 or 6 years of dismal escapement...why should this year be any different. If it is different and there are a surplus of fish...great...it's not a crime to allow a few excape to the beds and do their thing...but in fact...it is a crime because that is what the state is supposed to do...make sure every paper fish dies...it's total BS...let em all spawn so we can get back the numbers we once had in the pre-2004 runs...the way we have been managing our puget sound rivers for the past few decades is failing...trade your science for common sense and we might get somewhere but you guys can't because your job is to manage the people and not the fish...and that is the problem behind all of this...
