Step 1....There you go...….started out, complete ban on NT gill nets in all of Washington State.


Step 2......Pull Puget Sound, Grays Harbor, and Willapa Bay, from the original SB 5617......but leave Columbia River as the area to MAYBE get rid of the "walls of death".

Step 3......Whole SB 5617, shot down !!!!!!!


I realize the CR is a lot of people wishes to be net free, I mean who doesn't enjoy a "up river bright" for a bar b que. The problem was this was a 2 State thing, what seemed good, got shot down, again....

I said it before.....maybe a small step would have been better, Grays Harbor is the perfect place to have started a NT gill net ban. Three gill net groups work the "walls of death", QIN, Chehalis Tribe, and NT......NT is a very small group, less than 15 netters, might have been a start to have some NT nets gone.....now back to ground zero...….
