I am with lead thrower on this one. I thnk the fish wheels need to be replaced by the nets. They cold then selective harvest fish! I wathced a show on sone rivers in Main that had the fish wheel in place to so studies on their Atlantic salmon. They were catching the fish as they migrated back to the ocean. They would catch teh smolts take samples of them and thenlet them go unharmed. Seems like it would work the other way also?? So mabe somone needs to do some scintific reasearch to prove that they would be the better option for rivers. That may help get the laws changed??
