Last year was the first year in 5 years that a net fishery took place at the mouth of the Skeena river...this fishery took an estimated 42% of the total fall run of Skeena steelhead.

I don't post often on this board, but Sparkey definitely hit a nerve. I hope we saturate their mailboxes.

Here's what I wrote:
Dear Sir/Ma'am:

Althought I am still young(24) and have never fished the Skeena system, I dream of spending a month fly fishing the Kispiox system for steelhead. Please do not end this dream now by allowing unregulated netting at the mouth of the Skeena.

Regards,
Matt
