Coho angler you are either a tribal member, work for the tribes or work for the state who basically works for the tribes. I live very close to a reservation. I have lots of native americans who are friends, They do not hold any thing against me for my opinions towards there practices. They don't like what I have to say alot of the times, but that is my opinion. And if you think that they have not netted any sockeye out of the lake you are high as a mother****er, How stoned are you?????
They not only do test nettings, but they will still net a few thousand fish for there so called "rite of passage" stuff or for there ceremonial use. at a buck a pound it does not seem so ceremonial to me.
Obviously you have never seen some of the waste that goes on when they are gillnetting. Well e-mail me in a month or so and I will show you first hand.
