Rivernut,
I am all for shutting certain rivers down for a few years, but not all the rivers at once. Ask Bob how he would feel about that one. I also feel that no matter how hard we try to improve our fisheries, we are fighting a non stop battle with not only the Indians, but the comercial, and to make the matters worse, now it looks like the Fish and Game. The Chehalis river program sucks, and will continue to suck for many years to come! The Wishkah river fish, salmon and Steelhead smolts aren't released at the hatchery anymore, they are released at the net pens at the mouth, now I have heard they are cutting the Wishkah completely out of the Chehalis program. What a bunch of crap. A river that only gets 35,000 plants anyways is getting shut down? What am I missing? Am I the only one that feels this way? just my 2 bits about the State way or handling.
