Thanks for taking the time to reply Salmo. I hope you are correct with the harvesting balance component, by giving a larger allocation to the group that got less than the proper share the previous year. If you are, us sportfishers are going to have almost all of the harvestable Columbia spring chinooks next year! Yahoo! And some nice quotas on many other rivers around Washington next year too? We are excited about that , but I doubt anyone is making any plans; if you know what I mean. - RT - Edit: When you mentioned that much of these things are over your head it made me think of more questions. Can you tell us whose head these issues are closest to, so we might have them address these issues head on? Would we have to go any further than Mr. Stelle? All the way to Wash. D.C.? Or do you think that the states lawsuit against the Fed.s/Tribes will answer the questions? Thanks. - RT
