I wonder how inadequate the WDFW staff are at negotiating and just how flawed the North Of Falcon (NOF) process really is??

I understand the A9-10 fishery was very close to being closed for this year.

But how can such a thing happen that the sport user group gets cut 60% of their quota from last year while the tribes increase their quota-- especially since tribal fisheries accounts for 73.5% of the 2014 modeled mortality impacts to Lake Washington Chinook --the stock in question. And it appears that the tribal increase is a direct fishery on the stock in question near the locks.

I’ll have to add these to my Puget Sound list of inequalities along with the ten year average of 70% of Puget Sound Coho and 64% of PS Chinook being caught by the tribes.

WDFW appears not to be representing the close to 800,000 fish and wildlife license holders in even a remotely adequate fashion in Puget Sound.
