For the commissioner to say ATA wants the regulations to remain as they were the last few years is just wrong. The lack of inseason management for the out-of-state charter fisheries was a direct result of the department's decisions and it clearly was a bad move. What ATA is advocating for is resident priority in the sport fishery, inseason management of the sport fishery and to maintain the historical 80/20 king salmon allocation split between troll and sport fisheries. The potential treaty issues arise from the 3% transfer of allocation, as well as the ability to inseason transfer allocation from the net fisheries, possibly shifting the harvest timing of the king salmon allocation.
