You get more opportunity (time on the water) in MA 9/10. To WDFW that is a win.

WDFW needs to clearly lay out their vision for a salmon fishing future. They have an idea of how much they can produce in the hatcheries, they have recovery goals, they have models into which they can put those numbers and then craft fisheries. What would that give the sporties?

It would also help the sport fishing community to know what the vision for the future is and if they want to be part of it.
