Really don't matter very much? Where have you been? perhaps you missed the Monthly OSP report regarding the "chronic problem" of gillnetterss leaving the SAFE areas in the dark for the main river, then skewing the numbers to the extent the Bios are shaking their heads over the high numbers of upriver ESA fish showing up in the SAFE catch. SAFE for who? The gillnetters? Certainly not the fish.

We had a Bio at our CCA meeting who openly admitted that boats with observers had 80% more Steelhead in the catch than those boats without observers. Imagine that!

You have often stated that Steelhead have not been commercially fished by the lower river commercials since 1972. Well guess what? They are still caught in nets.

Do any of you naysayers on selective harvest give a $hit about Steelhead? Or juvenile Sturgeon? Fish on! It's all about filling your tag isn't it?

Keep the faith!
