With the federal law making it a crime to kill or harass endangered salmon going into effect tomorrow, does that include bycatch from the netters in the columbia? or is the government simply going to ignore the fact that their is actually other species than the targeted ones that get thrown back in dead or hidden under boat seats to be given to neighbors or friends(yes I have heard of this happening)Does this mean that netting will be shut down when their is even a slight chance of an endangerd salmon being killed? Or are the feds going to shut down our rivers when these endangered salmon are running? Will be interesting to see but I will almost bet on the fact that us sports fisherman will be on the losing side of the fish allotments as usual. Has anyone heard any rumours or facts on this subject?
