WDFW will have to do stuff in-season that would likely lead to better management than what would be achieved if they just based everything on pre-run ghost fish.

They should have left out the blahblah and just said "We will do some form of inseason managment". Which is still vague enough to mean nothing. You could argue that the "develop, evaluate, and implement fishery management models, procedures, and management measures" would do things like establish a way of measuring the inseason run, setting thresholds, and then pre-established actions based on the thresholds.
