Chum dumped on the bank .... Grrrrr ( skagit )

[BOWHUNTER45]

Just talked to the warden ...he told me that someone dumped a mess of chum off along the Skagit and wanted to know if I knew anything  My reaction was Indians ....his reaction ...well they had net marks on them but we have no idea who may have done it ....Birrrrr dirrrrrr    Does this make sense to anyone or am I just a d---- arz ! We can not catch any with a pole but again they can net and kill every freakin fish they catch ....purposely or not    I am headed to town to get a brown can of spray paint !

I didn't catch what river this video ^ was from but maybe it's connected.

They netted the Snohomish dry of them, I guess the Skagit is their next conquest.

Not connected by area, only connected by the fact that the fish are treated like garbage and the waste is ignored.

Skagit used to have one heck of a run of chum ...I remember taking my boys down there for a couple hours and by the time we left there arms hurt sooo bad they had to go home and cry to mamma  GOOD OLD DAYS ! They have totally freakin messed up the whole river system !!!

I grew up on the Nisqually and it was common to see piles of dogs with the eggs cut out........

Or down the street in tribal members yards, four foot high piles with a tarp over them. Never understood that... Pretty sure they were not freezing or drying them to feed the sled dogs all winter...

It wasnt too many years ago that the skagit was full of them. I used to go down there after school and catch them until my arms were sore. The nets have taken their toll, its only a matter of time until the silver fishing goes that direction.

Dont worry last year wdfw planted 150,000.00 smolts in the east fork of the lewis. This river used to be the record holding winter stealhead river in sw west wa. Now it will suck. Thanks people.

and now that the cowlitz has no early winter run you'll have plenty of company fishing on that dismal plant. Not to worry though, theyre saving the native stocks in sw washington, havent you heard ?.another wdfw debacle.

I remember taking my kids to the Skagit 10 years ago.  It was epic.  Lots of big fish and great for kids.  Last few years I checked things out it didn't look too good.  I used to look forward to this time of year for the chum.  I think those days are gone.

Well no one has ever called me a fisherman. And I am not. But I hate waste of wild resources. Somebody needs to get pictures when this happens and smack them down at every state resource hearing or any where else.

If nothing else it would might put some heat on.

And really we should treat this just like the wolf thread. Rights are Rights, and wrong is wrong. Some indians are two faced about conservation. And have to be called out every time they cross the line. 

[BOWHUNTER45]

like I just told Gobble Doc in a AM message    It will not be long until we have no more chum running up the Skagit ....I am so tired of it all ...they just need to wipe out all the fish in the Skagit and that way no one has to worry about managing anything ...I feel the same way about the elk now too !!! Kill them all !!!!!

[BOWHUNTER45]

Maybe I best get my pole and head down there and catch one of the last few Chrome Chums left in the Skagit and get me a picture with it and of course release it and get me a 8X10 photo and put it to my collection in remembrance  of them !!!  Yeah I best do dat !

I've seen the WDFW dump huge truckloads of bright coho all over the bank.  they chopped the tails off first. 

[wildweeds]

Apparantly the proper term for this waste is " Nutrient enhancement" My buddy runs a hatchery in this state,he's a fish guy with a degree and says its Bovine Scatology.All the homeless and down on their luck folks would more than likely not mind a salmon dinner even if it was chums.I'm an admitted fish snob but for smoking and pickling,there really ain't nothing wrong with bright dogs.
