I think most people comply with laws based on a combination of (i) fear of getting caught, and (ii) morals. When it comes to complying with fishing regulations, my personal compliance is almost completely based on morals--doing the right thing, just because it's the right thing. I think WDFW and its new Director should consider the effect that developments such as this cluster-fish MA 10 Chinook result are having on people's moral compass. Up until the end of the 'process' those of us in MA 10 expected a reasonable hatchery chinook retention opportunity and WDFW supported that goal. In the end, possibly just through lack of gumption, the rug was pulled out from under us and we get no Chinook retention at all. We've seen in Elliott Bay that once a season is stripped in NOF, it often doesn't come back. This feels much more political than proper. I wonder what folks in MA 10 are going to do when a hatchery Chinook hits their pink gear (happens every odd year for us) and then eventually comes to the boat with a sea lion waiting 10 yards behind the kicker for an easy meal. Bad start for the new Director. Worrisome precedent for WDFW.
