GBL,

From your past posts I understand you're obsessed over river gillnetting, so it's probably a waste of bandwidth to remind you that no one gillnets the Stilly for chinook. Gillnets are not now, and never have been, the proximate cause for the declining abundance of Stillaguamish chinook salmon. The condition of the habitat is so poor, it simply doesn't support chinook at a productivity level that allows the fish to even replace themselves. The gillnets you obsess over have nothing to do with it.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
