I really don’t like getting into this stuff but here goes. We lost above Fuller Hill because folks would not leave the Chinook alone. The problem with the Satsop is of similar circumstance. So ….. those are Summers staging up and the old rule was they reach the Springs by October 10th. Enforcement has been bitching for a couple of years about this problem with some fishers bothering Chinook and it needs to stop. You don’t accidentally catch staged up Chinook you have to target them. Years ago it was suggested to keep the river above the nursery bridge closed until flows increased. With the objections to the status quo from Enforcement growing from what I know it might happen. In fact the attitude and conduct of some fishers and the growing numbers might mandate it. Now that is sad.
