I've just concluded the morning conference call with WDFW staff and fellow PS salmon Advisors.
Without going into 1000 details on the fishery models, Tribal, WDFW, and sportfishing positions and seasons which are being proposed now, I am here to say that ALL advisors and individuals such as Ron Garner representing PSA in Washington state have all said "NO DEAL" and compelled the WDFW Director Unsworth directly to walk away from the negotiations. If WDFW walks away in support of the chorus supporting that decision, WDFW and Co Managers would have 18 days to continue negotiations. the PS Salmon advisors are requesting that no deal is made at NOF and that a Section 7 permit is sought through NOAA to allow salmon seasons for sportfishermen and charter operations in PS this Summer and Fall.
I'll report back once there are more developments.

WOW... this is getting ridiculous. The meeting is already in overtime and they're still playing hardball.

Do you guys have the proposed king quotas for each catch area? Westport was proposed to be 14,800. What are Lapush and Neah Bay?
Thanks.

While things are still being negotiated in the lower 48, Alaska is already making their plans for the summer. This quote came off one of the troller sites. I haven't seen the official announcement from ADFG.
"Abundance index for 2016 of 2.06 for a summer troll quota of some 260,000. 2015 AI was 1.45, it was 2.47 back in 2014.
Last year's announcement didn't come until June 26."
Most of these fish are headed south, especially on the outside waters. They'll catch this quota in <10 days in early July.
I'm surprised with all the turmoil here that they chose this year to make an early announcement.

Ocean package adopted just minutes ago.... Rec total of 35K kings and 18.9K coho To put this into perspective, we ended up at Ocean Option 2 Plus Recall PFMC Ocean Option 1 was 58.6K chinook and 37.8K coho Recall PFMC Ocean Option 2 was 30K chinook and 14.7K coho

Apparently, Loomis thinks only one side cares about the fish... "Unfortunately, the political leadership with the state Department of Fish and Wildlife did not provide a fisheries package that met the conservation needs of stocks of concern because of low abundance,” said Lorraine Loomis, chair of the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission. “The treaty fishing package is a conservative and appropriate approach to this historically low return."

They care so much about fish, especially endangered ones, that they refuse to adopt methods permitting encounters leading to overwhelmingly safe releases. Give me a HUGE break.

No deal. About damn time. I sent a note to Director Unsworth thanking him for his stance. Let him know you have his back.

50:50 .... in times of good AND in times of bad.
Conservation in times of bad means EQUAL sharing and reduction of coho impacts for 2016.
One co-manager should NOT be made to subsidize the disproportionate impacts of the other.

It's a bit hard to follow.
Can you explain to me your 50:50 comment? You say impacts, is that the same as catch, so equal catch? Also, the subsidize comment, can you explain? I've seen it thrown around at the non-treaty commercials. Is this the same with the tribes?
Just curious....
