I read the complete article....
1. I don't fish my jet boat in the White Bridge area. There are many guides that do and do safely. I'm sure the impact is less than if there were no boats above White Bridge. I'm also aware that drift boats and pontoons have access at a few places above White Bridge. So it not like NO ONE is catching hatchery fish above White, just not like in the past.
2. Hatchery fish and wild fish spawning ????? I do know that many of the hatchery fish end up in the fish trap. Some of these hatchery fish are taken back to the hatchery, to be used for brood stock. Some of the hatchery fish are released above the dam, this has been going on for a long time, 30+ years.
There have been at least 2 truck loads of hatchery fish, recycled. The fish are taken from the trap, tagged and trucked back down river. They are released at XXXXXXXXXXXX. Gives sportsmen a second chance at the hatchery fish.......
I've heard very few comments on "drift boat / jet boat", since Green Diamond gated the 7400 line....why is that????? Just wondering.
