That seems like a lot of water to close for pretty dubious benefits to Humptulips coho.

Fish on...

I'll pose the question to staff about how many Hump coho will be saved in the model by implementing the 2B closure.

Bet I'll be able to count 'em on one hand.

The paucity of wild Hump coho will be drowned out by all the chinook and the $hitpile of Chehalis coho that are statistically much more likely to be encountered with sport gear in that fishery. Savings will be inconsequential to the Hump wild coho escapement.
