Freespool,

You just proved my point and sound like a broken record. You equate Big beef creek, which I now live on, stavis creek and the others to the Dosie and the Duck. You need to look at a map. These are not the same and making the no distinction makes you sound at best stupid and at worst agenda driven.

These populations died because of netting and to a smaller extent, hook and line by us who were idiots to bonk and eat these fish(me included). They were netted relentlessly over a whole generation of fish so that none were allowed to spawn. At the end of that there was none left.

What part of allowing no fish to reach the gravel for a whole life cycle do you not understand? Why do you deny it happened? Again I watched it and no one would do anything about it. These rivers were exterminated. One of the saddest sights of my lifetime. And with the netting schedule and harvest first mentality on the other OP rivers they will follow in the dosie and duck footsteps.
