I guess my point wasn't clear. I understand that environmental conditions continue to be unfavorable for salmon, to say the least....

...I was more bringing about the point that with a more beneficial weather cycle the "Bad weather" negotiating tactic will not hold water. Lets face it.... the "bad weather" argument has been used as a smoke an mirrors buzz word for the co-managment both in their season setting as well as their (NWIFC) press releases.
