I smell a buyer's market for lightly used guide boats.

Time for PFMC to have 1 option, a VERY conservative approach to any ocean season setting.

My guess for WA ocean options in general terms:

LOW:
NO SALMON FISHING as all PNW stocks are well below historic.

MID:
NO COHO FISHING... with mark-select chinook fishery implemented during the time frame least likely to produce significant coho encounters.... i.e. sometime BEFORE July 1

HIGH:
Limited coho fishery sometime after July 1 with a 1 fish bag of either a hatch coho or any chinook.
