No, it doesn't sound like you are whiners.
We have the same issues: for example, in 2016, all coho fishing in puget sound was closed. Yet you could buy a coho on the side of the road for $4. Not even $4/pound, just $4 for the whole fish. The rec fishing was shut down, but the tribes were not shut down.
Our chinook fishing is always limited to clipped fish. Yet, when you catch the odd clipped chinook in our area 5 (across JDF from port Renfrew), while fishing for coho, you cannot retain it. Even when the escapement numbers have been met. This fish is going back to be turned into cat food.
When coho fishing is allowed, most areas you area allowed to retain clipped only. Often to the tune of 10:1 ratio unclipped:clipped. Mortality rate on unclipped fish?
It goes on and on. Why do you think we like coming north???
I fear your changes will eventually get worse. The changes are dramatically different for you and I am sad for those whose livelihoods are being affected.
