That's the way it is in WA state. C&R can only occur when either Chinook, Coho, or both are open, and it is open for maybe 2-3 months max depending on area.

The way things are going, to think this won't becoming soon to BC is not realistic IMO.Only way I have heard to 100%stop C&R is to put in full fin fish closures.

There will be choices to be made in the future and I highly doubt that "the way it is now" will be an option.
FRIM (Fishing Related Incidental Mortality) is real; you can choose to not believe in it but the vast majority of those involved with the process do.
