"Over quota" is a misnomer this season. I think we are sitting on one of the best hatchery Chinook escapements to Puget Sound that we have seen in quite some years. We have no mechanism for in-season adjustments because we just "agree" to whatever magic number they come up with before we have seen any fish....

Some of the tribes are seeing their "best years on record" and all they have to do to keep fishing is submit an in-season updated model, and adjust their "quota" up up and up.

Pretty sad state of affairs. The sound is silly with Kings right now and we're all twiddling our thumbs.

Can't even fish pinks and silvers North of Edmonds....

Sad.
