Andy(biolofisher):

I can understand your concern. It is my understanding that the Chehalis Tribe has not been forth comming with numbers of, species of fish caught by the Chehalis Tribal fishermen during their gill net fisheries during the year.......if this is true, then why would you expect others to want to share information with you??????

Are the Chehalis fishermen, at this time, fishing????? If so, then how concerned can you be about the "wild spring chinook" run?????

I share many concerns on the Chehalis and its tributaries, and have for 35+ years, but until the State part of the "co-management team", decides to take a "tougher stand", on season setting......then I feel any meetings is a waste of time. 5 days a week, for the most part, from 12/1, until about 7/31 is not "protecting" the resource......and for sure takes many "wild runs" of not only Steelhead, late silvers, but maybe these spring chinook.

It would be helpful if tribal fishermen had to record "hatchery and wild" fish is thier daily reporting......not just fish.

Have a good day!!!!!!
