The rivers that are being ripped up good by the tribal netting are pretty familiar to me...and the fishing days and catch data are both there to back up my concerns. Mostly this is happening on the Chehalis and Queets Rivers by the Quinault Tribe, on the Hoh River by the Hoh Tribe, and to a lesser extent, but still significant, by the Quileutes on the Quillayute system.

I have not seen any significant catch on the Snohomish or Skagit systems...I don't think that there are any fishing days whatsoever on the Snohomish system, and while there are a few on the Skagit, the numbers aren't high and the system is still making escapement.

May or may not like the tribal netting there (I don't, that's for sure), but there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that it is overharvesting the runs on the Skagit or Snohomish systems.

Fish on...
