It's a tough call. I'm sure no one wants to jeopardize the recovery of the Salmon run, but you would think that the fisherman are the best allies and supporters of the recovery program, and the publicity of a short, limited, catch and release season would do much to raise awareness and more support. Perhaps limited entry, with special stamp fees could even raise a few bucks for the effort.

Seems like more effort should be going into dam removal, creation of spawning areas for natural reproduction, and trying to research and address the real limiting factors...

I hope you guys can get them back.
