The whole idea of recovering Wild fish in this state is a farce, you have systems like the Queets, with little human impact on it's watershed, barely struggle to make annual escapement, if it does at all.
Then you have a river to the south of us , in Oregon, called the Umpqua, that this year will get a return of close to 50k wild fish returning, farmed along and logged all around, our foot print is all over it's waterahed.
The difference between the two is NETTING, and as long as it continues to happen at the rate it does, Wild fish will continue to struggle. Both have the same ocean concerns, both have sportsmen intervention, Umpqua probably more. Only thing different is no netting in Oregon.
And they even have Hatchery intervention.........
