the best part of the tribal netting schedule is the timing involved. QIN nets five days a week and pulls the nets for the weekend. Thats two days for passage to the tribs. My guess and calculation for fish to get to the Chehalis rez is a day or two probley three. Bam!!!! they run right into two days worth of nets in Oakille/Rochester. My calculation says that upriver/Skook/Nuewalkum(sp)/South Fork wild fish have no way to get to their spawning beds. without hitting a well timed gillnet.

Fishing above the rez has gone way down hill the last 10-15 years. It still has its moments but not nearly the steady amount of fish we used to see.
