Remember when the Skykomish Chum run was so strong the only reason you quit was because you were tired? It’s not like that anymore due to the nets. It proves an important point in that we caught the [Bleeeeep!] out of them and they survived. I think this theory could be applied in a lot of situations. It’s proof the more you kill the less you get & vice versa.

Everyone had a blast and they were fish literally on every Gravel Bar littered everywhere. There was about a three-year stretch where the Nets came in and practically wiped the whole run run out of existence. Caviar prices were up evidently. " what do you want to do today? I don't know, maybe go play with some chums, what do you think? Might even run into to an early steelhead." Yeah, I believe that was usually about how the conversation went before we went fishing for the dogs.
