One of the questions asked of me this week is the snider creek broodstock fish punched on your retention card as a native or a hatchery fish anybody know the truth? Here are some more statistics, the bogey hatchery this year is looking at about 10.000 fish returned, one of the better gillnetters in the Quilleyute had 24 fish for 284 # in one day! looks like big fish native wise this year for sure as I have experienced this week every boat had killed fish,natives that had caught fish and it is pretty slow with alot of boats catching zero but was kind of surprised by the catch and kill mentality already usually this time of year that is not the case you would think everyone has enough dead fish to satisfy that urge but guess what not. The best part is I don't personnelly think it is going to be a great year for natives on the pennisula this year so there is probably some changes on the way that will impact the fishery as Rich G has been saying all along it was only a matter of time
