I understand the rationale behind your argument and support it completely. As has been posted, before a single WDFW fishery deploys any gear (hooks or nets), the paper allocation of chinook crossing the bar at Westport is already 58% commercial.

I've had high level conversations that lead me to believe that elimination of the NT nets in GH is just not reality.

If that is to be the case, our future focus should be on ridding the basin of dinosaur gill nets.
