Looking back over this large thread the most glaring thing that sticks out is the unknown due to the fact of the tests being done and not knowing what to expect after that. The unknown seems to always conjure up the worst case scenario whether the world is flat and when you get to the end you will fall off to the CR with the use of selective live capture gear after testing will ruin sport fishing.
The CR long term strategic plan says that compromise will play a role for improved fisheries for both parties the sport and commercial and looking at the math there is no reason to believe that wouldn’t be the case.

Another interesting thought in this thread was taking the commercials off the main stem and putting into safe areas. When gill nets were tested in these areas there was a high ratio of sturgeon to target fish. The use of selective live capture to be used to catch hatchery salmon and release the sturgeon unharmed could be a possibility..

It should be interesting to see what the test result will bring this year.
