Fishstick,
Have you ever studied the early history of comercial netting of the Columbia? How OUR forefathers RAPED that beautiful river!!! What they did to the run of 100lb kings that use to spawn in Canada How about the MILLIONS of pounds of fish they had to throw over the barges cause the caneries didn't have room to process. You want to talk about rotting fish!!!! Oh, how about the DAMS!!! As far as the Oly Pen. lets talk about the Elwa. There USE to be 100lb KINGS on that river until OUR forefathers put the FIRST mayjor dam on any river in the states. This river had those 100lb KINGS also. MY (white) forefathers did more HARM to these fish than all the tribes put together. Back when they were RAPING the Columbia the tribes were not fishing with NETS!!! Enough said
