Fishery impacts are essentially modeled by time and area from coded-wire tag data. You cannot really shift impacts from Winter to Summer because individual stock impacts (ultimately what everything is being managed by, mostly the ESA variety) are present at different times/areas making Winter and Summer apples to oranges.

Ah, thanks for your insight here.

Sorry, didn't mean to stir the pot with misinformation!

Salmon fishery management in this state is extremely complicated out of necessity. Agreements, modeling, estimation of impacts, etc... are all designed to squeak out and/or account for all impacts in the environment of state/tribal sharing and the endangered species act.

It's just a huge system involving hundreds of specialized staff so the vast majority of people have no idea how it works, or have really simple ideas on how it works.
