Well some of you knowledgeable people explain the reason WDFW wants to protects "jacks".

Oregon allows 5 jacks, no recording on punch card, 10 in procession ....I actually called and this was confirmed.

I go to the NOF meeting in Montesano....ask to have, the same regulation for Washington State. Thought maybe a indirect answer might be, filling punch card, need to buy 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. But was told the bio's want to have "jacks" left in the systems........Why?????

If jacks are used for spawning reasons......then what I was taught in junior high, mid 50's, "survival of the fittest"...doesn't mean the same today???
