The Stillaguamish forecast was 40,205 with and escapement goal of 155,000 while the Skagit forecast was 85,600 with an escapement goal of 330,000. Pinks from both those systems swim through MA 9 and MA 8-2.

And how does that apply to the Cowboy nets off of Eagle Point? Or will they be shut down too?


I’d be surprised if a US pink fishery on “Canadian” fish did not occur.

They certainly would have a perfect alibi to fill their hulls with mixed PS pinks by using behind closed door rationale who else this year can keep these fish from being wasted, while being able to point at a prior event as an excuse on why the fish didn’t return. smile
