i just got off the phone with the coordinator for the satsop springs.and it is true,they snag chinook using treble hooks because it is the fastest way to get them.using a net would even be harder work when you think about it. the chinook don't go into the traps like coho do so that is the easiest way to get them,put them in the holding pens till ripe then they spawn them. i had a hard time believing this when i first read it because i always seen the traps full but thinking about it they were always coho and some chum.so i stand corrected and still learning something new every day.scott
