said Harry Senn,
Chief of the department's
Salmon Culture Division. "The
experiment tells me the natural
environment has received the fish
very comfortably and the success
of the experiment has
far-reaching implications for the
enhancement program."
Senn, who has been with the
department nearly 20 years,
explained the chum sahnon
enhancement experiment, when
originally discussed, was
challenged as a project of little
merit. Now, over 200,000 chum
salmon adults are bound for
Hoodsport each fall averaging
over 10 pounds each. This is
four times the return of 1977
and at least eight times of any
previous year.

Major business before the
members was the defeat of the
levy November 7, and the
request of the commissioners
that suggested alternatives and/or
proposals be considered and
presented to them for help in
determining what to do next.
After hearing five or six
suggestions, the group decided to
appoint a committee of three to
consider all 'of the discussion, to
consult with all available
resource persons, to prepare a
recommendation, and to submit
it to the commissioners early in
the new year. Bart Robbins,
Norm Schell and Jim Messmer
accepted the charge.

Salmon Hatchery in lower Hood
Canal, with a plant of nearly
three million chum fry. The
following year, and each
succeeding year, chum released
at Hoodsport have numbered
near 10 million fry with adult
returns of at least two percent
destined for the hatchery.
Under the $33 million
enhancement program, in its first
year of implementation, four and
one-half million new,.adult
salmon will be contributed to
Washington's sport and
commercial catch each year after
1984. This will be accomplished
through construction and
expansion of nearly 30 hatchery
facilities.
Although the record chum
run this year greatly aided the
department's program, an
additional one-day commercial
salmon fishery near Hoodsport
this past week created confusion
between the department and
commercial fishermen. Fishermen
charged the department with
mismanagement since chum
landed in the catch were of
reduced quality and brought a
lower price per pound.
Latest estimates from the
department show 56,000 chum
were caught in the one-day
fishery worth over a quarter
million dollars to commercial
fishermen.
Fisheries management
officials contend alternatives to a
commercial harvest near
Hoodsport are: 1) allowing
extended fisheries in northern
Hood Canal earlier in the seaon
directly affecting wild stocks in
need of protection bound for
northern Hood Canal streams,
and 2) not to allow an additional
opening at Hoodsport creating
surplus salmon at the hatchery.
Fisheries Director Gordon
Sandison explained the
management plan for Hood
Canal chums is based on an
agreed-to plan required by the
federal court. Part of the plan
includes an agreed amount of
fishing on wild chum stocks in
upper Hood Canal.
Management was further
confused by two factors: 1) a
large hatchery return made it
difficult for the department to
assess problems, and 2) illegal
fishing made management
computations difficult and
subsequently reduced legal
fishing time from four days for
the commercial fleet to two days
for "bright" chums.
Sandison said non-Indians
caught their entire number of
chum in upper Hood Canal
allocated to them by the federal
court. "The one-day all-citizen
fishery in lower Hood Canal was
a real bonus to the non-Indians
because the federal court
conceded tribal fishermen would
not be able to catch their share,"
he said.
The fisheries director said the
most encouraging aspect of the
Hood Canal return is the
phenomenal success of chum
enhancement.
