Westport... Cumulative catches through September 7 total 21,304 chinook and 37,140 coho (45% of the quota).

If I had to guess I would say that if the recreational fishery could only harvest 45% of their quota up to this point, I highly doubt that we could make up the balance with an extended season when there's only realistically a few weeks left before the vast majority of those fish are in their respective rivers, and that's why those "surplus" fish were re-allocated to the troll fishery which is much more effective at harvesting than the sporties have been.

The pre-season forecast for Grays Harbor/Chehalis chinook returns I believe were low and that's why there's no season on them this year. The bulk of the Westport fish are Columbia river fish anyway.

Maybe WDFW could have upped the limit to 2 fish earlier in the season.
