To be more precise the final fishreies package model run estimates for Lake Washington wild Chinook had the non-treaty impacts at 29%.

To fair under the ESA incidental allowable impacts under the federally approved co-manager PS Chinook fisheries management plan there is a cap of 20% allowable impacts. That is further divided into 10% pre-terminal fishery limit - pre terminal means essentially downstream of the lower end of the ship canal. Of those pre-terminal impacts the majority were modeled to be taken in non-treaty fisheries.

While the statement about the situation with Lake Washington wild Chinook and Puget Sound wild Chinook in general is correct it is hard to accept that this year's season package is significantly more conservation based that in the past. The total modeled fishing impacts were up to the 20% limit. It is true that some of that modeled impacts will not likely be used (for example potential LW Chinook impacts that might occur in a potential sockeye fishery) and passed on to the spawning gravels.

What chaffed many in the NOF process (non-treaty recreational and commercial) was a single tribe dictating when and where the non-treaty fishers conduct their fisheries even if the impacts remained unchanged. By that action not only were WDFW and many of the tribes painted in an unflattering light with the resulting seasons (or lack of) the anglers like yourself who look forward to fishing in your own backyard paid a heavily price in terms of opportunities.
