I would suggest we have already seen significant restrictions and those Northern fisheries are merely "catching up."

Will those restrictions free up Northern impacts on our several stocks that were highlighted in the 10 Year Chinook Harvest Plan? As I recall one of the major complaints of that Plan was that it included an 8% cap on Southern impacts to Stilly Chinook out of a max overall 24% impact and that even if Northern impacts dropped our 8% cap could not be adjusted upward (yet staying within the overall 24%).

Staying tuned.......
