Hey! No worries this is just another "test" netting going on...

The set net was still in place at 8:00 this morning, and clearly heavy with fish as all of the floats were underwater. If the returning fish numbers were low enough for an emergency closure before, there's definitely a greater emergency now.

The net has since been pulled.

I agree. Probably more than what you want but here are all the agreed fisheries between Trty, Ntrty,and recs to look through.

I’ll add this one because of additional information that can be played with.

Thanks for the update GoldDigger! Wonder if there were any Chum in that "Last & Final Set" They're due right about now... What a mess!

Jackpot. Thanks Lucky Louie.

You're welcome;
As you can tell there are many mixed stock fisheries starting in the ocean and running through the straits and SJI's then into the sound. When matching these fisheries with WDFW models of various Puget Sound stocks you will see that Puget Sound stocks are under siege when running that gauntlet.

The PS salmon are taking a beating including PS ESA listed Chinook in these fisheries.

Area 10 was shut down this summer while not only the limiting stock Lake Washington Chinook was continued to be fished by up to a possible 56 fisheries on the model but also all the other PS ESA listed Chinook stocks as well.

If area 10 needs to be closed then all the other fisheries affecting the LW limiting stock should be closed as well.

You have lots of work to do Ron W. before the next NOF meeting. Don’t make the same mistake as this year by burying your head in the sand and pretend that there is not a problem. I presume you have contacted and have a dialog going with the tribes on this matter? The closing of area 10 was not acceptable.
