A guy from Elma called the former Director ( couple of years ago ) bitching about the near seven days a week corking off the river. The man told him if his boat was not big enough to fish the bay or ocean he should go fishing on a charter or go with a guide. Conversation went down hill from there as I recall.

I asked a manager (actually the INLAND fish manager) about how the restoration of coho in the Yakima would mess up the trout fishery by replacing rainbows with coho. His response? They can fish Buoy 10.

Here we are....Dec 1, nets are in..the nets have been in and no word from WDFW on what they are going to do. I'm sure the state is waiting for the tribe to tell them how many fish they have killed and how many they think are in the system before they make their decision on what they plan on doing.

Hi Guys,

Here is the decision.

1. Keep our current closures and fisheries in place at this time.
2. Continue to monitor the species composition in the QIN fishery on the Chehalis River side.
3. Recommend to the Director to open the Wynoochee River and the remainder of the Humptulips River for steelhead directed fishing on December 16th. Retention of hatchery coho will be allowed.
4. Continue to track the QIN fishery catch composition. If a shift in species composition in the QIN fishery is observed on the Chehalis River, re-open steelhead fishing in areas with returning hatchery steelhead.
5. Continue to track spawning and project total spawners each week. If the projected number of spawners exceeds the spawning goal, re-open both gamefish and coho salmon fisheries.

Please call if you need more info.

Steve

The nets will stay in both the lower river and the middle river. Where in the hell does conservation come into play. Whatta a damn joke.

I like how WDFW uses the term 'decision', like any of them have enough ass in the game to do anything but toe the line.

QIN made the decision for them (and us).

"We are going fishing with nets with the intent finding out if there are any fish (making money), we will tell you what we catch (more or less) and you can use that information to inform an entire state's worth of fisher folks that they need to stay off the water in the name conservation. Also, we are going in dry".

Thanks Rvrguy for letting us know.

Usual and accustomed abuse of the resource, taken to yet another level.

Something tells me there won't be a heart-warming press release from the QIN about this one. Glad the hatchery coho got the protection they needed this year, at the expense of the wild fish.

QIN, netting Chehalis coho to extinction. Funny how this is deemed an economic disaster for them, casino money and all!

As usual the state is taking the "move along folks, nothing to see here" approach. Good to see consistency I guess.

Just saw king 5 had story about how recs can't fish but the tribes are allowed to net. They gave the Qin's a chance to comment and of course they said the impacts on wild coho would be minimal during this steelhead fishery. Sure would have been a great opportunity to state the real catch ratio. Too bad the guides that invited the television crew thought the money they were losing was more news worthy than health of the late coho.

Not the case at all, the news didn't add the part about the 25 to 1 catch this time of year to the story. Don't turn it around on the guides. The tribes are over harvesting and have been all along..The recs are sitting idol while the stewards of the resource are killing Wild Coho for profit. The tribes say the impact will be minimal to the Coho while they catch Steelhead..YEAH RIGHT

This state and the tribe are a [Bleeeeep!] joke. Every sportfisherman in this state needs to start petioning for non tribal casinos to be able to get slots and whatnot and put these f-ing tribal casinos out of business or give up your netting. I guarantee that would make a change real quick. It would be like Taking welfare and free cell phones away from all the deadbeats around.

During the news cast, I called and gave them the catch percentages and the WDFW location for treaty landings for last year that showed 546 coho to 9 stealhead for this week, or there abouts. I asked them to do thier research and not just post Quinualt smoke screen. The breaking news, news room said they would research it.

But I agree with Deetlick, take thier sole esclusion to slots away, a 600 mil in WA venture a year, and let eveyone have them, tax the piss out of them and see if they start to cry. Bars, hotels, restraunts, bowling ally's ect. They will talk, Bit when they have the cow and all the milk, why should they deal, time to bring in more cows.
Been saying this for many years

Must be another younger person????

1970, during the general election....WE, THE PEOPLE OF WASHINGTON VOTED ON WHETHER TO MAKE GAMBLING LEGAL IN WASHINGTON STATE...

All the "do-gooders", took out 100's of ads, against legal gambling......guess how the election came out....

Tribes grabbed the ball and ran with it.....and they are winning the game...grrrrrrrrrrrr

Right or wrong, your view on Casio gambling, it was a chance to have a funding source to help lessen the tax burden for the people in Washington State.

You can't re-do a stupid move by the do-gooders of this State.......Tribes will never give up the Casino's.
