I agree with this. Not only does it give a little more time to organize people, but we will probably also have a better idea of what the test fisheries have shown in terms of abundance (and whether further tribal fisheries are planned to take place).

I think you'll get a lot more participation if it's *clear* that there are enough fish coming back to support a fishery and that the tribes are proceeding on that basis.

I suppose the drawback is that it leaves less time for WDFW to do anything in terms of opening up a Puget Sound fishery while there are still fish out there.
