I see our interim Director as just another wheel that is turning to continue with the Status Quo. He whines about how the Tribes continue to favor lesser escapement.

IMHO the Tribal fishers would be right if only wild fish were to hit the gravel. This is far from reality given hatchery fish spawning without success in the wild.

Sg nailed it. Gill nets impact not just the target species. Similar size steelhead are encountered.

IMHO these are the larger wild fishes. The hens carry a chance to increase the spawner population due to the larger size, nourishment, of the offspring.

DFW gets all worked up over harvest. Sometime, they will see the error of thier ways.
