I think we are going to see some great coho returns over the next 10 years. Just a hunch I have. Last year a lot of south coast areas had really nice returns that they had not seen in decades. If this trend contoiunes that I think we may see some movement to opening some areas for wild coho retention.

A good study of how we all interpret the world from our own wheelhouse windows and the info we get from the channels we choose to listen to. I well remember that restructuring period. And my own reactions to it including, for the first time, heading out before the season opening with an overwhelming sense of doom. An unusual feeling for someone involved and invested in an industry where optimism is an essential personality trait.

Shades of what is happening now. Manufacture a crisis (all Chinook runs are in trouble) Then use the crisis as a re-allocation tool.

Makes you wonder where they will be on Chinook in 21 years.

Meanwhile, the northern troll fishery caught 176,000 Coho last year, a significant portion of which were undoubtedly south coast origin fish, and we are still on hatchery only. Despite the fact that Coho are a sport priority species, resource managers within D.F.O. are not seeing the situation as an allocation issue at the present time.
