We have a state mandate to provide meaningful sport AND commercial fisheries while conserving the resource.

Just exploring new paradigms for BOTH fisheries to co-exist without destroying the resource.

Sport priority at low run-sizes seems to be working fairly well in my neck of the woods.

Chehalis was constrained to a whopping 24 hours of NON-treaty gillnetting this season. Sports got a basinwide opener beginning Sept 16 with a 2 wild coho retention top to bottom in the mainstem Chehalis all the way down to the bay. Lots of happy folks from the feedback I've been getting. If that's getting phucked, then I say bang away!

If you've got better ideas, I'd love to hear 'em.
