Driving home from work this afternoon(Wed.) over the Chehalis R. bridge in Aberdeen, I looked up river 1/4 mile to see a tribal gillnet strung out across the river. Anyone know what they are targeting? Letty Potter, you seem to be up to speed on tribal doings........know anything? I don't believe they are after sturgeon as those kind of nets are set close to the river bottom. This was a standard gillnet with the bobbers across the surface. I'd hate to think it was spring chinook or worse, summer steelhead.....neither is in abundance.

I'm not interested in this post mutating into an indian-bashing session(don't read that as myself supporting gillnetting...I don't)I'd just like some feedback as this is an odd time of year for the nets to be in.

Just curious.
