springers on the columbia
« on: May 08, 2010, 08:58:50 PM »
k so i was down prefishing on the umatilla pool for an up coming bass tournament after we pulled out and left the ramp we went up to the fish veiwing ladder at McNary dam on the oregon side and were looking to see how many springers we would see and there were lots running through the ladders and way over half the fish had huge fresh scars on them, is that from sea lions around the bonneville or the gill nets? i haven't see that many fish all messed up. any thoughts?

Gill nets from the commercials and indian nets

It is from the sea lions probably on the belly.

If they are on the back half of the fish probably not a gill net

We saw two sea lions riding on a log raft that was being towed by a tug.

Same old story here, limited removals of those beasts, and gillnets crap every year... Department has no determination to do anything for us who pay them. I'm sick of the big C Salmon blounders over and over again.
