With all the trouble were haveing with the steelhead makeing it to the spawning grounds why do the continue to net this river? there gonna take everything this is crazy I have never seen a net in the lower part of the river this late in the season

You must not get out much.There are nets in every year this time up to highway 167.Might have 2 weeks left maybe.

[Bleeeeep!] nets, the indians put them in when ever and where ever they want .They dont care what happens to the fish if they take them all the government will just throw cash there way.Its all a joke Wheres our 50% ...BAN ALL NETS...TM

You better be carefull bad mouthing the Indians to much. Do you know who has been paying to keep the summer run program on the green going? The tribe that's who. We get much more by working with them. What have you been doing to improve things?

I will bad mouth Injuns any time I please, they have done more harm then good to our fish in this state Maybe you should brighten up and realize if the nets came out the river would support itself!!!TM

BAN all nets!!!!!
Good luck,
STRIKE ZONE

BAN ALL NETS!!!!!!!

There other systems that won't rape rivers which gill nets are effectively doing.

look I wasn`t trying to bad mouth any body I know if the law allowed me to string a net I probably would I couldn`t possibly support my family with ten strings across this river and yes I do get out quite a bit I`m 31yrs old grew up on that part of river (where the ferry burnt down)I`ll say it again I never have seen nets in that part of the river this late in the season how many fish do they catch couple to or three prime natives? a net can`t release a native as far as the summer run guy I can`t say that I have volenteered any time but I have donated quite a bit of money over the years there is no-way sportsfishers can compete with the money from commercial and fed backed tribal fisherman there has to be a medium

Need to start throwing hay bailes into the river.!!!!!

Takedown,,,, were ALL rolling hay bails down the green tonight... that'll save them fish

I'm glad to see that some people are still down to do it!!!!!

that wouldn`t solve anything maybe even make things worse the netters are just gonna have to figure it out for them selves hopefully before somebody catches the last one

throw hay bails:}
eliminate all netting.

Hay Bails
Hay Bails
Oh wonderfull Hay Bails!

BAN ALL NETTING
Put the nets where they belong, in the indians front yards!

The netting season is suppose to be done on the green!! Next time call WDF if your not sure they actually do respond if you make a stink

Hey guys just a little info.Theres maybe 10 to15 nets in the green from hiway 167 to elliott bay with the majority of those below 1st ave. bridge in seattle so your wasting your time with the hay.Timber you loggers have done more damage than all the tribes put together!!!Takedown is right about the summers now were talking about winter fish also.W.D.F.W is bull***tting you guys about not knowing the nets they get all of our regs.

Don't even try to blow smoke like that Nativefishraper!!!!!!TM

------------------
"Just say HELL no to sovereign nation!!!!!"

No smoke here timber just the truth.I don,t know who did more damage the timber industry or the army corps. of engineers.The native people took care of the resources for thousands of years the white guys decimated it in less than 100 years than everybody had to try and fix it!Were still trying ,but we will never stop.I can only speak for the green,white,and lake washington basins.

Gill nets were not used for thousands of years. Why not go back to the historic ways of fishing, and get the gill nets out of the rivers!

Funny how you come on here spoutin off but you leave out your email and place of work.Oh ya Government money you don't have a job!!!TM
