They went back to standard gill net gear after the tangle net experiment resulted in a massive wild steelhead kill. WDFW estimates a 50% or more mortality from the nets yet they go through all this window dressing to spruce up the image of the gill nets. Kind of like putting a string of pearls on a hog. There is just no common sense excuse for allowing gill nets in the migration path of wild fish that are ESA listed.
