hey duck in the fog, I also only believe what I see. as one example, I think in 1987 or 88 they opened lake washington for sockeye sportfishing. on opening day, around july 4th, I was there. launched the boat at the mouth of the cedar river, jetted out to the fishing area and flipped on the fish finder. WOW, from one end of the screen to the other was the biggest school of fish I had ever seen. proceede to catch my limit in 1 hour(6 fish).
as required, if they open the sport fishery they have to let the indians net too. they did so the next day.
I went out to the same place the next afternoon, flipped on the finder, and there was not a fish to be seen. looked over the whole lake and nothing. maybe they flew away?
this is just one of many times I have seen the same type of thing. the fastest way to destroy something is to get it where it has no escape.
