Quote:
2016 Net season, in 2C, Humptulips side, allows for retention of wild Coho. Wild Coho have not made escapement numbers in 21+ years, on the Humptulips. Blame needs to be shared by all that net or sport fish the bay and river.


Well the numbers crutch out that if the NT's did wild coho release the encounter ratio mortality was nearly the same but a bit more. R6 cut back NT net time a bit and did keep. Thing is every dead fish ( mostly ) will be counted rather than a phony release impact number that is not based on anything and is likely to result in underestimating the commercial impact. If one wants to argue no commercial time fine and head to the Legislature to change the law. One could argue many points on what R6 did in Grays Harbor this year depending on perspective but the keep on the 2C fishery is pretty much right on and stayed within GHMP guidelines..
