So sport anglers forego a percentage of sport Coho fishing in the Snohomish R. each year for egg collection at Wallace Hatchery, and they are distributed to the Tulalip’s Gobin Hatchery at no cost to the tribe. In return no corresponding Coho sport angler season last year in common with the Tulalip’s open season, coming out of NOF.

Then a Tulalip refusal for a test fishery to open up the Snohomish R.?
Maybe that is why I saw 2 WDFW test fishery boats from Gray’s Harbor on trailers and then docked in the Everett Marina. After they left, the season opened shortly. Coincidence? I don’t know.
