In a word, no. That said, for decades WA and BC informally acknowledged that BC fishermen caught WA Chinook and coho while WA fishermen caught BC sockeye (Fraser River bound). Although never formally calculated, they informally kinda' sorta' agreed it was a wash. However, after the US - Canada salmon treaty of 1985, WA interceptions of Canadian sockeye plummeted while BC interceptions of WA Chinook and coho were far more modest. It's not a wash. Further, those Canadian sockeye are caught by commercial fishermen, while WA Chinook and coho were caught by a mix of commercial, treaty, and recreational fishers. As for Alaska, many who fish commercially in AK are WA state citizens. The upshot is that WDFW doesn't care who benefits from catching WA produced hatchery or wild salmon because WDFW benefits, i.e., WDFW receives WA General Fund money to operate hatcheries. If no salmon were ever caught by anyone, it technically wouldn't matter to WDFW, as long as the GF money continues to roll in. Of course, if no hatchery salmon were caught by WA citizens, the Legislature would likely be interested and possible take some action come budget time. The main product and service of WDFW is that at the end of every fiscal year, the Department can report that all allocated funding was successfully spent. WDFW is keen to remain excessively vague about how much product and service WA citizens, taxpayers, and license buyers receive for the Legislative appropriation spent because good accounting would not make WDFW look good.
