i have not bonked a native steelhead in the chehalis river system in over 25 years but because of the tribal netting schedule i have decided that the state is trying to wipe out steelhead in the chehalis system. the december steelhead of which there use to be a lot are gone. maybe it is time for the sportman to take back control of the river.
if there are any dept. of wildlife employees on this board could you give the why of the agree upon netting season for the tribe and the numbers used to justify it. i have emailed the state office and received on reply thanks
