How many nets do you see?
« on: May 07, 2010, 04:16:51 PM »
Rivers up North have been closed on an emergency closure for months due to low fish numbers! Apparently it has worked because it is now open so the tribes can get their share!!!!!!  So instead of having a sportfishing season they open it up for the tribes!   >:( >:(

I seriously think my eyes are bleeding.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I take it this was in Alaska right?   From my experience up there they have escapement counts and netting is allowed after that number is met.   And while sportfishing up there you are wasting your time while the nets are in down river.   So even though some make it through the nets...not very many make it past these blockages.   This is only one of the 5 spots that were getting netted today on the Skagit.     

7 nets were stretched across at this one spot!  Completely ridiculous!!

That's an awful lot of nets for a dozen or so ceremonial salmon!! Jeez   There ain't no way ever to justify netting a river (especially the Skagit with it's dwindling runs.  Any body with half a Conservative conscious knows how detrimental this is .  So why the hell is it happening??

Wow... that is bullsh*t.  Haybales sound like a mighty good idea.
I would rather be a conservative nut job, than a liberal with no nuts, and no job!

yeah...so those nets can keep killing long after the tribe has forgotten about them.

comparing commercial fishing in AK to tribal netting in WA is flat out idiotic.  WA is about the only place in the country where nets are allowed in the rivers.  not to mention the only one where netting is allowed for steelhead, especially where our runs are teetering on the brink of oblivion in many places.

This is not true. Up river Bush Alaska has plenty of drift net allocations for Native fisheries as well as fish wheels, so don't go and state what you don't know.

I've helped natives I known on the Kuskokwim River with their river drift nets for personal and commercial use.

i agree, theres no comparison. i steelhead fish alot in the winter, and when the nets are in theres very few fish. you cant say its not the nets, the day they take em out is when we start catching fish again
