They are commercial guys dogfish.

RT - I'm glad that guy is good at what he does, otherwise he'd go broke. Civil lawyers represent money: plain and simple. I guess it's better than defending child molesters, murderers, and rapists.

I was hard on the guy and I apologized for that, but I'm also not going to let him tell me that he doesn't like the tone of my font....lol lol that's what really cracks my **** up.

There really was little viable information found in that thread, so no one is done a service arguing opinions. And that's all that thread is, so killertraylor if you read this, I'm sorry for coming down so hard on you, but you're a lawyer defending evil people's ways so I couldn't resist.

Thanks for the clarification, Saltine. Andy

The steelhead initiative of 1974 was sucessfull fobb I don't recall any other ballot initiatives since then.
The commercial fishing industry invested heavily into defeating this measure but with the work of NorthWest Steelheaders and Oregon Governor Tom McCall it was defeated.

Parker is right about the Gill Nets being selective. They are selective about fish size.

For instance, if a guy is fishing 6 inch mesh that will do fine for most Coho and steelhead, but the small ones will swim right through and the big ones will mostly bounce out. And as far as Kings go they fall in with the latter most of them bouncing out.

Now 8 inch mesh is good for Kings but accept for the Big Coho and Steelhead most of theese guys will swim right through it.

I know this stuff because I talk to theese fisherman all the time, and ive actually seen the Kings and bigger steelhead just bounce right out of the nett.

the post that the clown killertraylor posted was about a sturgeon gillnetting opening, the salmon were a bycatch, is that selective ??
