Just in case someone can do math...........

Thirteen fishers – six using beach seine nets, five fishing purse seines and two employing trap nets – caught a total of 21,000 salmon and steelhead this late summer and fall in the lower Columbia River.

The catch included 10,800 chinook, 8,100 coho and 2,100 steelhead. Both purse and beach seines proved to be effective capture methods, with purse seines being the most effective of the two gear types, according to an agency “green sheet” describing the project. Agency officials previewed the 2010 data Friday for the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission.

Do the math folks... Assemble the entire fleet with the new method and we will be in a world of hurts...
