i`d like to see the muckelshoots put a fish trap in the lower duwamish near the new boeing bridge and fish the hatchery fish down to hatchery escapement and turn the river into a dead zone so i could say i told you so, do you realize that they could do that ?, is that what you want ?
Poor Boater,
The muckelshoots didnt fish for winter steelhead due to low returns. They are currently waiting for the in-season estimates for the summer runs currently heading their way, before they will fish. They are apparently more concerned about wild fish than boater is. They only get half the harvestable returns. A poor example to illustrate your point.
I do like the trap idea. Far superior to the gillnets strung across the river like an obstacle course, killing the few wild fish left in that system. They have lost a few nets. I will pass that along.
Remember the video you posted last week. You "selectively" omitted some crucial remarks by another cca rep in the testimony. Andrew Marks testified about the selective non tribal harvest in a south sound bay, using seine nets. Ive never heard anyone complain about the lack of fish on that run. You didnt leave that out on purpose did you? Thats a selective fishery boater. You should be all over that and try to prove your point. Does Ocean Beauty pay you per post?
