Skok. River Indians....

[adam.WI]

Same thing on the chealis by aberdeen. Went sturgeon fishing with a friend not a boat on the river. We were fishing for a couple of hours and up the river comes and indian gillnet boat. They went over to the bank and tied the end of there net then layed it out around our boat and the net came up our anchor line. They just went in the cabin and shut the door and we had a really hard time getting our anchor back. I know it was done on purpose but what can you do. Like Phool says the state is;nt going to do anthing because of the treatys and they are written in stone.

I probably would have cut my anchor free, and it wouldn't have been the anchor line. Also times have changed, look at gun laws. If enough work is put in I think that they could be modified. I'm going to make a guess that back when they were signed they didn't have day restrictions on when they could net so things are subject to change. That is by no means a fact, but my thought process.

If that guy really did that on purpose that is total BS.  People like that are the ones that give Indians a bad name.  I would be quite pissed as well.  There is no excuse for ruining a kid's fishing trip out of nothing but greed.  Uncalled for.

maybe a bunch of people should head out with 100 pound dacron and give em a taste of their own . start yardin those punks into the river.

So where did my post go? This guy made a statement about a drunk driver. And I said race had noting to do with it. It could have been anybody. Who ever took it off, give me a PM of why?

I am glad I was not there, it was not me or my family in that situation; My father always says that my temper will put me in a whole bunch of trouble. I have a hard time dealing with POS scum. 
I am sorry to say F&W will not do anything about it.
Sorry your nephew had to experience such BS

Yours isn't in recycle either Pa Ben, not sure what you guys are doing but I don't think all your posts are going through.

i'd start by not fishing near the indians.  i don't like watching the crap that goes on there, for them it's perfectly legal.  plenty of areas to fish where you don't have to put up with that crap.

Yep it's perfectly legal!! You could have had it on video and nothing will happen. I don't fish that river because it's not just about catching fish. It's about having a good time while catching fish.

Sorry to hear about the bad time but honestly this is what you should expect when going to that river these days. It's really sad it has come to that!! It makes me sick.

The 2 times I fished that river about 5 years ago I had the injuns walk up and string nets out below and above me, Then they started tossing m-80's into the hole I was fishing.  I won't go back and only can blame myself if I did and had a bad time. I know what to expect now. Plenty of other places to catch a King or 3.

Oh, and good on you for fishing with eggs and not the jerk and snag methods the other 99% use. I'm told them fish take a good cure really well!!

Most of the people were cool and knew how to combat fish. The only problem I saw was with the white side casting while a guy was fighting a fish. I saw more fish lost because of some body who couldn't wait.

Im not sure cause my post was taken down too but you are right that race had nothing to do with drunk driving

[hard hunter]

I know that WDFW can't do anything but what about the USFWS?  Don't the indians still have to listen to them?
