I suspect that the difference is that there is no accepted method of providing an in-season update for the coho run in the Nisqually. Similarly, even if there is a method to update the run ENTERING the Puyallup River, that update would not inform the size of the run out in Puget Sound, therefore no rationale for any marine fishery. Similar to the problem of wanting to open a marine sport fishery with no way to update the size of the complete Puget Sound run.
