Thanks for the analysis Smalma. Given the level of angler effort in the winter (trips in your analysis), I agree it's reasonable to be concerned that if the winter season length were reduced, it wouldn't add much time to many of our already-meager summer seasons. Granted sometimes a week either way on the summer grounds can make the season if you're lucky enough to land on a pile of chinook for a week the way they move through in pulses that time of year.
