They were netting on Sat and Sun? I guess that was before the sport opener on the 16th, huh?

Easy,
How did you miss seeing the nets last weekend the 26th and 27th??
There were more nets than I have ever seen between potlatch and hoodsport. They were running from shore out about 100 yards. They were selling chums in potlatch for $5.00 ea. The nets were still in and being work when I left sunday afternoon. Didnt you notice the boats running north from the launch were way out from shore? You must have been to excited about getting to the hatchery to start fishing.lol

I did see some nets and some netting boats Sunday afternoon. I guess I did not think anything of it because I have seen the Canal with a lot more nets and netting boats. The netting effort seemed small.

Wait, so will there be nets in the hatchery zone on saturday or am i safe there. Just wondering cause I'm a little lost.

This does not sound good for next Sunday! We will have to check this one out!

I was told about the Skok hotline today by them....I just tried dialing and couldn't get to any recording...so ignore that number!

The Hatchery Zone should be free of nets on Sat and Sun. The indians keep a low profile on the weekends, at least they did last year.

Seems like it would be pretty easy pickin's fishing inside a closed net!

GO NOW! There are so many chums at the Zone and in the Canal itself you can't help but catch fish till your arm falls off.

If you decide to go this weekend, make sure you claim a BIG rock next to the concrete wall next to the hatchery. Tide was so far up, idiots were fishing off the catwalk as you walk to the steps to the beach. How they were going to land the fish, I didn't stick around to find out.

Fished the canal today. WHAT A BLAST. Stayed well away from the Zone confusion and still hooked many fish. Seemed like 7a.m to about 10a.m we were knocking them dead then it was few and far between.

Next weekend I am taking the float tube. Who needs a motor when you have a floatube and a 14# chum.
