First let me express that I am not talking about sport fishing impact on the winter run native steelhead. what I am saying is that nets in this river at this time frame Do have a impact on both native fish both species ,Native summer run kings and Native summer run/winter steelhead natives ,and on the hatchery steelhead . there was no gillnet fishery on this system untill this summer run king program was started, I have never seen a gillnet fishery on any river for summer run steelhead(NOT FALL RUNS) . The tribes take there summer steelhead allotment from the winter run fishery. As far as my source of information, What better source could you obtain it from than from the same people that raise the fish from start to finish ,and the people that patrol this river system, Why would they all lie ? I have fished the Snohomish system for over 25 years and have known a lot of these people for a long time and have been given nothing but reliable information over the years, I have seen the returns for the summer run steelhead dwindle in both run size and size of the fish , there used to be a lot of 2-3 salt fish ,but for the last few years there has been the RARE fish over 10 lbs. , Also a large amount of fish with gillnet marks in June and July! What does that tell you?
