Anyone that reads PP would have to know that the Week of 10-8-2012 catch far exceeded what they were allow to catch......I remember Ron Warren saying that "we made a mistake".......sure didn't help the Chum run in Willapa.





To WDFW's credit, the new Region 6 fish manager CLOSED the 2016 WB commercial fishery y'day to avoid a significant overage in its chum impact. Thank you, Annette, for swift and decisive action to uphold the WB Policy and advance the cause of conservation in this basin!
