Those are great photos. I do not understand the logic of putting nets across the whole river for miles. Could they thing about the future runs at all? These fish are NOT quality fish, you can see by the way they are handled.

There is NO WAY all the fish sold are going on fish tickets. You can see fish sales on the water and going on in the parking lot. I do not think WDFW would be kind to me if they caught me with fish bought from these guys.

I wonder if those who claim it is not proper to anchor in a trolling lane consider it proper to block the whole river with a gill net. I believe the Duwamish is a navigable river, is it not? Even with me jet I had to coast over the corklines in a few spots. The net guys were telling me I could not go up the river cause they were netting. Do they regulate the waterway AND the fishery?
