Yeah, Iv'e lived here (WA) for 65 years & when things started gong bad I started fishing BC exclusively. FYI that was about 1986. Southern BC is now about as bad as WA was in 1986.
As i read them these regs are pretty stupid. They should open a Chinook only season in May & allow chinook-only retention the whole season. Much of the Westport fleet switches to Tuna in mid July anyway.

Even worse The straights may be closed for salmon this year
