Correct me if I'm wrong please, but I believe the reason why there is no coho retention on the Snohomish system (except for the Wallace) is to protect the even year pinks. The same reason why there is the late coho opener in area 8-2, usually the fishery opens on 9/1, this year 9/15.

Do we really need to protect even year pinks to the point it shuts down coho fisheries??? Not worth it! My meager 2 cents!
