Just spoke to WDFW. This was "agreed to" at the North of Falcon. WDFW Bio's modeled out a depressed run this year, and recommended that there be no fishing. The Tribes bio's disagreed and said they were fishing.

The state says they could not challenge the tribes and agreed to keep the sportsmen out.

The thing that really pissed me off was when I asked if they were considering an opening if the run size is bigger than modeled? The girl responded by saying. "If we open it to sports fishing, the run will be decimated." REALLY!

So boys, I know for most of you, the lowly chum is not worth getting excited about. It's not your type of fisher so who cares.

But, once this is the new normal, they WILL be coming for your fishery.
