Disgusting.. To bad nothing will ever be done to discipline the members responsible.

Just terrible.  What a waste

It's said that there buyers and such can't keep up with the amount they are netting. Simple solution don't net that much

Let them spawn and reproduce naturally.  Maybe even more fish down the road .  Wait it's part of the agenda to blame dams, commercial fishing, etc.

Been doing it for 15 years. Hopefully there will be an outrage, but there wont. Now if the tables were turned, you bet there would be.

Where did they dump these fish at?

[Fowlweather25]

Usually out skokomish flats rd.

Thats disgusting. Kinda looks like the area by their chum hatchery before Potlatch park. Saw a pretty ugly mess at the south end of the Hoodsport hatchery saturday. From the looks of things it looked like more tribal netter trash and wasted fish. But not positive.

And with the oxygen problems in Hood Canal. The Skokes think this is OK?

I have seen it multiple times.   I am glad someone finally documented it.   I used to see it by Purdy Creek.   Made me sick.

Terrible waste. With the buyers not able to keep up, sounds like they knew the fish would go to waste before they were caught.

Im suprised it took this long to get recognition. They dont just do this with chums. Seen lots of piles of kings and silvers along purdy too. On several occasions ive been fishing while the native next to me snags them up cutting the eggs out and throwing the fish on the bank.

 It reflects badly on a heritage that once thrived and was respected for their sustainability.

It was my cousin and his friends that finally got this on the news. I forwarded the pictures and info to them because he "had a friend" that he thought could get it done, looks like he did. Glad it finally got brought to the publics eye.

I worked at a state run hatchery (McAllister Crk) when I was in high school in the 80s and a company that made pet food came and took the spawned out salmon. I can't believe they couldn't find a use for them.
