Talked to a friend yesterday who floated, said he had to put in at Spruce Creek? Where is that? Is that just below the Park, where the rip rap has a large pipe coming from river right? Anyhow that is where he said they had to put in, and it was a pain. He said that in many places the river was way over there, approx 400 yards from last year! Lots of changes. They floated to Minnie, got 1, 14 # colored up hatchery fish and 1 pull. The fish checker said that right now its a "tweener", between hatchery fish and waiting for the Natives. I usually do well from late Feb to the closing in April, hope the nets stay out, yeah right. Thats one I just don't get, we have to release ALL wild fish, and I have no problem with that, as you know. But to target all the wild fish right through April, is just crazy, but then again so is our Fish & Wildlife Dept! Great management boys! Escapement, yeah lets see them get through the net which is ALL the way across the river. They (indians) really help with our management so we will all will have healthy runs in the future. Yeah, right. Our biggest mistake... sorry Tonto, no casinos until we get fish & wildlife consessions. It's 2008 you don't need to kill EVERYTHING!!! Sorry but this stuff gets in my BVD'S!
