Maybe everyone is sick of talking politics and went fishing, there's alot of fish to be caught out there now.
Every election year it's a choice of the lesser of two evils. Every year the lesser evil seems to get a little more evil. As much as I dislike Lock I shure as heck can't vote for a talk show host that will push for "local control" as in control by special intrest groups who's special interest is getting the ESA salmon listings off their financial backs.
The solution IMO to the incidental catch of listed salmon is to fin clip all hatchery fish and use a method of selective harvesting that allows the release of the endangered wild salmon while retaining the hatchery salmon. Testing of fish traps and fish wheels is going on right now. For the tribes this would be a return to their traditional methods and I am dismayed at their resistance to this change. Even with new methods for commercial harvest and the release of marked fish by sportfishermen there will still be some kill of endangered salmon. Do you want to shut down all fishing? If so why even have hatchery production?
I hate to see any mortality of returning endangered fish. You seem to be outraged by 11 sockeye caught in nets. I have to assume you are horrified by 21-39% of the returning adults killed by the four Snake River dams!
