Last year I had the privelege of hiking from the trailhead on the you know where all the way through to the South Shore Road...Incredible country and one of the jewel streams in the state...I wish I'd been around during primetime, but that seems to be a common theme for me...

My home river is the on the OP and I have to say that it is relatively healthy in comparison to the rest of the rivers in Western washington. My sole worry is the netting that takes place...I know this is not the most PC viewpoint but, I wish there was such a thing as "net and release". I am definitely in favor of tribal harvest, I just wish there was a way for them to target non-native fish. Will they pull their nets if the sporties go C & R?
