Went up to Icicle on memorial day weekend and fished the mornings by the hatchery. We went over to talk to the fish and game to see what was happing and to view the amount of fish in the hatchery. We had asked the F&G about the latest report. She had said that their were only 102 fish in the pens. they released the other 300+ back out to the river because they did not want their quota of 1200 fish from the first school and wanted a mixed for the capture. Understood.
But what she had said was we can fish 400 feet below the hatchery, (no problem yet). Well all the indians were fishing in front of the ladder and had surrounded the hatchery opening from shore ramps and was hooking the fish left and right, I had asked other if they had any luck and few were cauught. Whats up with the indians being able to fish in front of the hatchery ladder while everyone else cant. They should make them fish below like everybody else.
