Thanks for pointing that out, Rivrguy. That probably means gillnetting is still full steam ahead, too?

Frankly, leaving the lower river open flies in the face of the professed purpose of the trib closures. This way, the same fish they say we're protecting will face the most deadly gillnet and hook and line gauntlet they face in their lives untold numbers of times before the fish start moving into the tribs. Indeed, this renders the upstream closures completely pointless and unfair.
