Curtis: I believe the Skagit plants are of Skamania origin.

Bank Walker: The same thing that is happening to the Skagit fish is also happening to the Nooksack, Sky and other N. Puget Sound rivers.

These hatchery fish are getting hammered when out in the salt..and just a few miles west of Everett. If we could stop those commercial gill nets (tribal, I believe), then we would have smashing returns once again.

Until they get those gill nets out of the water it ain't gonna change.
