Skok. River Indians....

[Yelm hunter]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I went fishing down there yesterday with my dad brother and my nephew who is only 10 he finally was able to get his VERY FIRST KING SALMON HOOKED probably about 15 lbs and he was getting it in. The Indian guy casted his treble hook out and snagged his fish and started reeling it in. I said man you just hooked his fish. He said "ha,ha,ha... " I said buddy you better let that fish go and he didn't want to. So I took the pole from my nephew as he was crying and started reeling and fighting my nephews legal mouth hooked fish with eggs in her mouth. And another Indian casted out there and snagged the same fish on purpose. Luckily I was using 20 lb bradied line so I had some fun doing it. But man why do they do this? What some ASS HOLES. I'm waiting to call the gamewarden tomorrow even though I should have called yesterday on the river. Oh ya they took the fish and CUT my nephews line... I said you   M....F....   I'm calling the sheriff and he said do you really wanna play "bows and arrows?" Well I have to wait and see what the gamewardens say and report this to them. But man I'm not going to pay $45.00 for my combo license get a hell of a good fish on and have them take it. Yet alone I paid $75.00 for a gate key for hunter farms access... I cant wait to see what they say... (the game warden)

THe title wasn't black skok fisherman though, and it wasn't whites, hispanics, orientals or blacks that rear ended his vehicle and destroyed his boat or took this kids first fish.  

Keep us posted Yelm.  Doubt anything will happen but would be nice to know if you have any recourse.

The Skok really isn't the greatest place to introduce a kid to fishing. Chalk it up to a bad experience, teach your nephew that those ethics aren't what it's all about and take him somewhere he can have a quality experience. Maybe head up to Sekiu and rent a boat if you don't have one and catch silvers and humpies all day long. Something like that if you can. Sorry you had to experience that.

tmike is right, I've had some real quality days on the river but have also had some real negative ones such as having them drag a net or set a net up right where I was fishing.  Ive seen thousands of fish stacked in a pile with nothing but their eggs taken.  Hard to swallow.

that wouldnt go over well with me

This is why it is imperative for all of us to take a camera with us each time we hit the woods. Photo the incident and forward to wildlife and the local media. Let the truth be known.

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.

Damn Bone, given your employment position I would have thought cultural diversity training would have been mandatory. Its no longer acceptable to say "oriental", "Asian" is the accepted terminology. Progressive counseling on this could lead up to and include termination, so be careful

The skok. indians are the worst I have fished around. I live ten minutes away and will not take my son there until the silver's are in, for that reason. The local officer's hate that fishery, when they write a ticket on a tribal member it get's thrown out. This fishery has turned into a snagfest and it realy blows. I almost wish they would post a officer there just to get the snagger's off the river.

Maybe it didn't post, its not in the recycle bin

Not alot of "Asians" on this side of the hill Rob, can't stand the heat.  Lots of Hispanics though.  Some sober, some drunk, kinda like the crackers in the Wenas. LOL

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.
