Something else I would like to add to what the guy said about the net almost stretching across the water. Take a picture. If it looks suspicious, a picture tells a thousand words.

But here is what I wanted to add: I've noticed whereever netting is concerned in rivers (the ones I've seen), they are supposed to leave "said" opening free of nets to allow the fish to get by. Well, why is it that these nets usually are strung up in a deep hole that is right next to a shallow shelf? They stretch the nets through the hole, and "legally" they leave their buffer zone for the fish to pass through, but the water is 2" deep in these spots. Is there not a depth law, stating a minimum depth this buffer zone is supposed to be????????? This is greatly evidenced on the Chehalis River when the nets are in.
