Hey, wait a minute. At least were talking about an increase. Hatchery production has been on a downward spiral. This is positive news for once. My hope is that the 10-20 million increase comes in the form of the delayed release Blackmouth program w/ in PS. Do you have those delayed release numbers back in the late 70's and early 80's? I fished the Narrows area back then as a drift moocher, Evans, Concrete Dock, Gibson. Pt Def. area Dalco. It was on fire from Thanksgiving through Christmas. If we keep the majority of these plants in PS, and they didn't leave and get intercepted north of us, locally we all win! The whales and sportsman get the benefit. The fish stay here for them to eat and for us to catch. Whats wrong w/ that? Restart and clean up the So. PS Capital Lake rearing pens. Make them work and be productive. Lets have Blackmouth available from Olympia to the San Juans! It happened before, it can happen again! All we need is the commitment to put the numbers in. It seems an excuse to do so exists NOW! Lets take advantage of the Legislative and $$$ support! I could care less if we have full migratory Chinook that go North and get intercepted vs the local opportunity. My 2cents.
