It's worse, in the sense that the integrated fisheries management plan for this year, for example, isn't coming out until June 30. In the past, it would have come out in March or April. Alaska announces their chinook limits for the year in March.
In my season, I have guests showing up on July 1. I can't tell them with 100% certainty that they're going to be allowed to keep a chinook. I could tell them in the past that they would be able to, but I can't tell them for sure now because the IFMP for this year doesn't come out until June 30.
