The nets are in the Green river & I'm wondering what they (Muckleshoots) are fishing for? Is it a late coho run? Should be some steelies coming in. With all the logs floating down it must be good for the nets. Oh wait the Govt will buy em some more. I now have it figured out. CHUMS. Yeah that's it. but not for the fish, it's all about the eggs. It's just a guess but it sounds about right.

Yup, chums it is. I am sure there are some steelhead in the mix too.

They're fishing for hatchery winter-run steelhead. Too late for chum.

i would say that they maybe getting both as of the last creel report for elliot bay they had a mixture of blackmouth and chum.
