Believe it, Dogsalmon. This fishery and the way the state is allowing the tribes/commercial boys to net it is yet another example of the beuracracy that drives our fisheries department. Sure, it's the best run we've had in years, but if the state doesn't do something about it we won't have very many more springer returns like this one. Here we are, getting the first decent springer return we've had in years and you'd think to youself "Hey, maybe it's not too late. Maybe the good old days of salmon fishing aren't gone after all." Well, fish for them while you can, because if this is the way we are going to manage our fish it's just a matter of time before we're right back to wondering if the spring chinook are going to become extinct. Sorry to sound so negative but it's hard to just sit back and watch this when just a few years back there weren't even enough springers returning up the Columbia to even warrent have a season.
