Today i was fishing the upper skagit when i saw two boats netting.So i thought to my self why are the indians netting the kings up here they are no good for nothing but eggs? But after fishing i decided to take a trip over to the hatchery,there i saw the same two boats that were netting in the river they were unloading all the fish "NATIVE KING SALMON" into the hatchery pens to spawn them.. so i decided to ask my friend steve who works at the hatchery why these biologists are netting the salmon if the hatchery already had there quota two months ago..he told me that they have a ninty percent better survival rate. but i said didnt GOD intend for those fish to spawn up there,if they had made it that far i am sure they can spawn on there own. to me this is an outrage those fish dont need to be gillnetted and brought into the hatchery they can spawn on there own.. let me know what you think......
