Ill tell ya whats bogus!

Anybody who says that sport fishing does or has not played a role in the decline of wild salmon and steeelhead is full of it and dosent know his facts.

If you want proof just look at the graph on the WDFW site that shows the 20 year harvest both sport and native american. Or you can look at the catch records before 97 that gives both Sport and Native American harverst for each river system.

We were right up there with the netts. We may not play as big of a role now but we did then.
