One of the biggest limiters now for opening recreational fisheries, esp. in mixed stock areas, are the agreed to Chinook impacts allowed. Because the state made a proposal and agreed to 0 harvest on coho (esp. in marine areas) they indicated a 0 impact on Chinook in mixed stock areas. Now that the agreed to Chinook stock impacts have been set at 0 there is no mechanism remaining for the state to open fisheries as they have no allowable impacts to Chinook.
