Wouldn't it increase impacts/mortality on a threatened run that we all want to recover?

I think this is a valid question. We criticize WDFW for running the the fisheries into the ground but then beat them up when they close down a system that seems to need protecting. There may or may not be enough fish to warrant a fishery but the system certainly isn't "healthy".

This is a regular internal conflict for me.
