Nets on the Skagit
« on: January 08, 2010, 08:13:34 AM »
I don't get to riled up about the indians netting on the Skagit because I know there is nothing we can do about it, but what I saw yesterday really pisses me off. I was walking my dog on one of the dikes and I see a net with antifreeze jugs tied to it laying in the water by the rocks. I investigate it and its full of dead steelhead and not one is hatchery. How they can get by with even having a net in the water with virtually extinct levels of natives is beyond me. That got the blood boiling.

Pictures are worth a thousand words.  And I am sure that you could find a newspaper reporter that needs a story
"I think I have a fish"
"probably bottom"
"bottom doesn't head shake!"

I'm sure that if I typed what I really want to say, my post would be deleted.

Go get some pics, and if you don't have a camera then find someone that does.

I didn't have a camera with me and I had a meeting I had to get to. I was thinking about going back today after work and see if its still there. Justin, if you want to go its on Lafayette Road where they have been dumping brush and top soil along the dike. If you take the access road (which has been open lately) at the sharp curve in the road and walk it up on the dike, theres a gate that blocks a short road covered in grass that dies at the river. Look along the rocks right there you'll see it if its still there. The antifreeze jugs were white. Let me know if you get some pics.

I reported the same thing on the Duwamish a few years ago. I was told that the WDFW can do nothing! The tribes are self policing.

I found and took pics last year of a elk carcass that had been dumped by natives in the Puyallup, witnessed by several city of Tacoma empoyees. I sent the pics, location and info to F&G and never heard a word.

Would it be bad, if somebody started doing the old "hay bale off the bridge" trick somewhere up river?

...........really don't solve nuffin. State would end up buyin em new nets, and it puts ghost nets out that will never be retrieved.

Sounds so good sometimes. Ooops.
