Steely Slammer,
you must be knew to this board. I am not an Indian nor do I know any of them except Potter and Letty. I will tell you one thing, I am not for gillnetting, but damnit you can at least be half way nice about it. I bet you $100 bucks that we as a sport fishing industry kill more wild steelies headed for the Nooch then the Indians do! Another thing. The indians haven't even touched the Steelies this year in the Chehalis more than maybe once a week if that! Everyone is taking a peice of the pie, and pretty soon like all things the pie will be gone, unless we take the first step in making the fisheries a better as a whole. I hate singleing out people or groups, as a kid we get singled out the most! Alot of people don't think I can run my own business or handle my own boat or anything like that, but folks I am doing it, and I am doing it all on my own! If you want to help the Steelhead survive try telling bubba next to you to let that wild fish go, instead of thinking if the indians can kill them why can't I.
