That is a cop-out!!...Yes, if you stopped buying eggs from the gillnetters, they would not stop fishing but you are supporting them.

And besides you do not NEED eggs. If you need to catch fish so badly that you need support an industry that is a major factor in the demise in our wild salmonid runs then I suggest you hang up your rods, tear up your license and head down to the counter at Safeway.

I may be coming off as a pompous ass but my biggest problem with this whole situation is the Indian bashing. Look at the threads that have taken place on this board the past week...how many were there dedicated to bashing the Indians?? So why is it Okay for the white man to gillnet but not the Indians??? They are both raping the resource and putting these fish in serious danger of exctinction...once somebodies answer this question I will get off my high horse but untill then I will not let it go.

Fishing is not about catching!!!...if it was then you wouldn't be steelhead and salmon fishing. Why the Hell must you support an industry that is killing our fish at the rare they are???? Oh, thats right...you need the god damn eggs. I'm sorry...fish can not be caught unless you have eggs. Give me a break!!!!

I said it before and I'll even say it again...Would you rather have go fishless tomorrow because you do not have eggs or go fishless in twenty years because there are no fish to be caught?!?!?!

Go take up bass fishing!!!!
