Ya know, it's almost funny. Every interview I've seen over here(Richland) since the season opened up is of a WDFW 'official' of some sort, stating that recovery methods really do work. In their next breath, they always say "the fisherman need to be careful in identifying their catch, with the presence of ESA listed chinook. If we see fisherman are killing ANY chinook at all, we'll shut it down."
Better yet, put a bunch of nets in the water. That makes sense?!?
