Now I’m worried that WDFW is gonna do some unnecessary restrictions like shorten the Aug-Sept season or some bullshit to compensate for the overharvest
It will soon be closed to chinook forever, the current system is designed for it. Think Lake Washington Sockeye, the final seasons were measured in hours not days or weeks (then gone). They will likely still produce hatchery chinook though
What happens to the already shortened coho seasons will be a similar gradual mathematical strangulation based on some selected native coho stock (analogous to Stillaguamish chinook).
