I'm peeved there's no adult retention between Sept. 15th and Oct. 1 on the Chehalis. Why not extend the jack only fishery to Oct 1st? Only 1 hatchery coho- doesn't seem worth it. Are they trying to protect hatchery adult salmon for which taxpayers provided funding?


It is a zero sum game. It is not the jacks or hatchery limiting only NOR ( wild ) returns. Take one additional fish up here or release with mortality you have to cut .... someplace. Yes staff has yet to respond on the diffence of the boat limit vs fresh water below South Monte. It is a issue as appling the bay mortality is on average appropriate to the reach below South Monte but the boat limit needs to come with it.

It was the 20% impact Coho limiter implemented by the Feds that nailed us. In fact BC had to swallow us exceeding our share to get what we have. So everyone has a opinion but if you did not stick with the process you will be left wondering but that was one's own personal choice.
