Salmo G I am sure you are right about a lot of things about me,,

My comments on the Skagit however are correct. My point was and maybe i didn't make it clear that WDFW has already made a decision based on politics not on science in choosing the MSY strategy of managment.
It's polotics to say that we are going to manage our fisreries by harvesting as many fish as we can.

they start off by asking the wrong question becaus of the political nature of harvest..
they ask.." Whats the most we can take?"

if they were being scientifc about it they'd ask. " whats best for the fish?"

They should do away with MSY and go by MPE
Maximum possible escapment
