The Situk is doing just fine for Sockeye even with all the damn nets off the mouth!
Lower river is full of nice big Sockeye, we were hooking and releasing 50 to 60 per morning each.
Subsistence nets are a joke in Alaska, they use it to take way more fish than they can use. Watched 5 guys do it one day and they took more fish than all the sportsmen will take all month.
The commercials take over 150,000 fish each year and then bitch at the sportsmen for flossing!
